Next Meeting: February 21, 2026

Yale Harvard Biomarker Study; Writing Utensil Update; Breakout Sharing Session


YHBS is a clinical study aiming to identify a blood biomarker for Parkinson’s Disease. They hope to pave the way for a diagnostic blood test, find potential targets for therapeutics, and aid in genetic research for Parkinson’s Disease. Study coordinators will talk about the details of the study, the impact you can make as a participant, and provide opportunities for questions and enrollment. Then the project team from Wethersfield High School will update us on the development of their writing utensil grip. Following the presentations we’ll have an in-person break-out sharing session.
