Dr. Mark Cookson, Carson, and me at the Laboratory of Neurogenetics at the National Institute of Aging (NIA) in Bethesda, MD. Pictured here is the DNA sequencing machine that discovered the LRRK2 gene in 2004 with Dr. Andy Singleton. Carson and I visited the National Institute of Health (NIH) clinical research hospital to participate in a Parkinson’s study in 2024.
