The way we define Parkinson’s disease is changing. Rather than relying on observable motor symptoms, emerging biological classification systems focus on measurable biomarkers, genetic risk, and neurodegeneration — enabling earlier, more accurate diagnosis and more targeted therapies.
Atuka’s new white paper, “Redefining Parkinson’s Disease: Biological Classification and the Future of Therapeutics,” by Chief Innovation Officer Patrick Howson, PhD, provides a clear, comparative look at these new frameworks and their implications for research and therapy development.

A biological definition of PD enables more homogeneous trial cohorts, earlier intervention, and better alignment between pathology and therapy. But it also raises important scientific and ethical questions that the field must navigate.
This white paper gives researchers, clinicians, and sponsors the insights they need to stay ahead of this paradigm shift.
