National Leadership Team
Jaskereet Gujral
Founder & CEO
Jaskeerat is a junior at the University of Pennsylvania studying Neuroscience. He is passionate about medicine and has many hobbies, such as drawing, playing chess, playing basketball, and spending time with friends. Jaskeerat got involved in Parkinson's disease because he conducted clinical research on how Ginkgo biloba could mitigate mood and motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Around that time, Jaskeerat's relative passed away from Parkinson's, and so he was motivated to help PD patients live a more enjoyable and happier life.
Udit Garg
Founder & President
Udit is a junior at the University of Pennsylvania studying Bioengineering. He is extremely passionate for helping those who are suffering from Parkinson's and Neurodegenerative Diseases. In the past he has designed and built medical devices for those living with Parkinson's.
