>> Huntington's disease is a
genetically inherited disease
which can lead to movement, emotional,
and cognitive impairments,
and it's ultimately fatal.
My name is Jee Bang,
and I'm a neurologist and
the clinical director of
the Johns Hopkins Huntington's
Disease Center of Excellence.
For nearly four decades,
as one of the first centers of its kind,
we've offered comprehensive
clinical services
to generations of families
impacted by Huntington's.
While there is currently
no cure for Huntington's,
our center and my research have
brought us closer than ever
to making it possible to slow
down disease progression.
I run numerous clinical studies
to test experimental
drugs that treat symptoms
and look for new targets for therapeutics.
I'm also looking for new biomarkers
to understand and predict the
progression of the disease
With each study, we hope to get closer
to curing Huntington's disease.
