Picturing Parkinson's winner announced

November 10, 2016


Picturing Parkinson's is an annual research image competition. Scientists submit images that celebrate the beauty and art of Parkinson's research.
2016's winning photograph was The trial of the TIGAR by Karla Robles Lopez from the University of Sheffield (see above).
Research comes with no promises of success, and each image represents years of painstaking work.
Dr Beckie Port, Senior Research Communications Officer
The image is a section of brain tissue from a person with Parkinson's. The researcher has used a special stain to show up a protein called TIGAR.
They believe that TIGAR may be involved in some genetic forms of the condition, but we don't know what its role is. Karla describes the brain tissue as resembling a desert, where TIGAR is abundant.
In memory of Jonathan Stevens
Picturing Parkinson’s is held in memory of scientist Dr Jonathan Stevens, a research supporter who was passionate about making research accessible and easy to understand.
He communicated progress to inspire other people with Parkinson's.
Brian Stevens, Jonathan's father, who judged the entries with his family, said:
“We think that the image and its description are the most interesting artistically.
"It represents a new area of scientific research, which we are sure that Jonny would have been interested in and would have enthusiastically supported."

A unique insight into the science of Parkinson's

Dr Beckie Port, Senior Research Communications Officer at Parkinson's UK, comments on the shortlisted images:
“The breadth of images entered this year reflects the complexity of Parkinson's and the hard work that goes on in research departments every day.
"These pictures give us a unique insight into the world of research, and we are grateful to all those who entered.
"Research comes with no promises of success, and each image represents years of painstaking and challenging work.
"They are the product of a researcher's dedication to understanding and developing future treatments for Parkinson's."
