Dilan Athauda

I am a Consultant Neurologist and Neuroscientist, based at Guys' & St Thomas' Hospital, and the Department of Clinical and Movement Neurosciences at the Institute of Neurology, UCL. My main interest is in Parkinson’s disease with an emphasis on how metabolism impacts neurodegeneration. I am co-investigator on the Exenatide-PD3 and Exenatide-MSA clinical trials and am a visiting scientist in the Gandhi Lab, where I am exploring mechanisms underlying the effects of Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists in human induced pluripotent stem cell models of Parkinson’s disease, and the use of extracellular vesicles to monitor and track disease
