About kill parkinson

Parkinson's disease affects us all, sometimes sooner than we think. Recent calculations predict that the number of patients could double in the next 25 years. This means that some of us, our friends, family members or even our kids, may develop Parkinson's. Let's fight for a world without Parkinson's.

We believe that by combining the experiences & insights of many of the up to 10 million people affected, researchers can find patterns that will lead to a cure. Therefore, our volunteer team is building a global patient-led Parkinson’s disease registry.

Now we are looking for a dedicated, very experienced, and passionate Senior Software Developer (Fullstack) to join our small IT team on a volunteer basis. If you are excited to contribute to a meaningful cause, we would love to have you on board!
