Neurologist Vikram Khurana brings a new perspective to Parkinson’s disease research

When neurologist Dr. Vikram Khurana tells his patients that he’s doing all he can to help them, he’s not exaggerating—after treating patients for Parkinson’s disease in the clinic, he works to find a cure for Parkinson’s in the lab. Part clinician, part researcher, Khurana is both an attending neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and a scientist at Whitehead Institute. His research focuses on discovering new therapeutics capable of reversing the neurodegeneration that is a hallmark of Parkinson’s.
