Affiliations, Collaborations and Educational Programs

The Collaborative Center for X-linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP) at Massachusetts General Hospital is conceived as a “center without walls,” that encourages collaboration among international institutions.

Affiliations

The Collaborative Center for XDP) at Massachusetts General Hospital has partnered with members of the Movement Disorder Society of the Philippines (MDSP), and has developed strong affiliations with other research institutions.

We consider teamwork to be the key to advancing XDP research and improving the lives of XDP patients. Our collaborations with MDSP members are particularly important given their extensive experience and clinical perspective. Our team also includes accomplished researchers from Mass General and around the world who share the goal of more effective treatments, and ultimately, a cure for XDP.
