Martin McKeown

Dr. Martin McKeown is Professor of Neurology at the Faculty of Medicine and the Pacific Parkinson’s Research Centre. The overarching goal of Dr. McKeown’s research is to investigate novel ways to treat symptoms of Parkinson’s disease using non-invasive, non-pharmacological technology. Specifically, Dr. McKeown’s team are interested in better understanding brain connectivity and network dynamics and extrapolating work from related disciplines such as Alzheimer’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis to investigate whether tools originally developed for other pathological diseases are also useful in PD. In addition, the team focuses on utilizing portable and wearable technologies to record and collect research data and to ultimately provide a means of home-based symptom management.
