In this episode I discuss the evolution of the treatments of Parkinson’s disease with leading neurologist Andrew Lees.
Our discussion focused on one of his autobiographical books, Mentored by a Mad Man.
Andrew Lees talked about his early exposure to the writings of William Burroughs, and how this sustained his commitment to study medicine, and served as guiding light for his philosophy of research and the impetus for his search for chemical cures for Parkinson’s disease.
Andrew Lees was born on Merseyside and is a Professor of Neurology at The National Hospital, Queen Square and University College London.
He is in the top three most highly cited Parkinson’s disease researchers in the world and included in Thomson Reuters 2015 List of the World’s Most Scientific Minds.
His latest books are Brainspotting: Adventures in Neurology, published by New York Review of Books in April 2022, and Neurological Birdsong, published by Mirabeau Press 2024.
