Meet Maliah Grant, daughter of retired NBA player Brian Grant who was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson’s at age 36. She and Ray Dorsey, MD, co-author of The Parkinson's Plan, will break down Parkinson's genetic risk factors, what the research suggests reduces risk, and actionable steps to take as preventative measures - with special consideration for the perspective of someone whose parent has Parkinson's.
Ray Dorsey, MD, MBA is a practicing neurologist at Atria Health and Research Institute and director of the Center for the Brain & the Environment, a nonprofit research initiative that will investigate the environmental causes of brain diseases, including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and more. He received his MD and MBA at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
