How does a deep-sea diver transform Parkinson’s care in Kentucky?
Dr. Greg Gerhardt’s research, which began with a UK CCTS pilot grant, is now helping local patients reclaim their independence and "change the slope" of neurodegenerative disease.

ALT A photograph of a scuba diver navigating underwater through deep blue water. The diver is wearing a black wetsuit and full scuba gear, holding a professional underwater camera rig. Sunlight filters from the surface, and coral reef structures with small fish are visible in the background.

“Think big… then think bigger.”
That mindset defines Greg Gerhardt’s approach - bridging rigorous science with real-world impact to slow Parkinson’s progression and make a difference for patients.
Grateful to work alongside him.medicine.uky.edu/news/akt-th…

Outstanding work from @ukyneuro Professor Greg Gerhardt and LEAP team to translate research to improve patient outcomes.
Billy Kennedy, former head coach of Texas A&M, has spent his career developing game plans, mentoring players, and leading teams through the highs and lows of competition. But in 2011, he faced an unexpected opponent — Parkinson’s disease.
