Deborah Brooks Top-Executive
Privileged to serve as CEO and Co-Founder of The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF). When Michael J. Fox and I launched the Foundation in 2000, we set out to accelerate the development of better treatments and ultimately a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
Over the past two decades, I’ve had the honor of working alongside an extraordinary team and community of scientists, donors, and advocates who share an unwavering commitment to impact. Together, we’ve transformed the landscape of Parkinson’s research — catalyzing collaboration across sectors, advancing breakthrough therapies, and redefining what’s possible when urgency and optimism fuel innovation.
My journey at MJFF has deepened my belief in the power of partnership, transparency, and patient-driven progress. Every day, I’m inspired by the resilience of people living with Parkinson’s and by the collective spirit that drives us closer to a cure.
