Alastair Noyce is a Parkinson's UK Doctoral Research Fellow at UCL Institute of Neurology and Specialist Registrar in Neurology in London. His clinical interests are movement disorders, particularly Parkinson's disease and related conditions, and general neurology. His main research focus is on early features of Parkinson's disease and markers including laboratory, genetic and imaging markers. Alastair heads up a longitudinal pilot study called PREDICT-PD, in which members of the healthy UK population are stratified for risk of future PD.
