Do we even know if Parkinson's mechanism is the same in all people? Or, is it really a set of things that arbitrarily and uniquely go wrong and end up causing symptoms that clinicians give a loose common name?

I was reading this paper yesterday: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fchem.2023.1106... . Wouldn't it be good if we could scale those tools to human organisms and to individual patients? Use ML to compensate for the fact that our CPUs and GPUs can't really simulate something that big? What if we could see into the private lives of individual diseases with more resolution than the world's best spying agencies? [^1]

[^1] I dream I could work in something like that, send me an email if you are hiring.
