In this powerful and hopeful episode of In Two Minds, Professor Caleb Webber explains how vast new datasets and AI-driven pattern-spotting are transforming our understanding of conditions like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Caleb is the Director of Informatics at the UK Dementia Research Institute and a leading voice in decoding the complexities of neurodegenerative disease. He reveals groundbreaking findings from his team’s work: surprising overlaps between Parkinson’s and diabetes, the discovery that existing hypertension medications may halve the risk of developing Parkinson’s, and a major new study exploring whether combining blood-pressure drugs with GLP-1 therapies (like Ozempic-type medications) could slow or even prevent the disease.

Caleb offers real reasons for optimism: that prevention may be within reach, that repurposed medications could help people sooner than expected, and that the next decade of brain-health research looks more promising than any before.

This is an episode filled with science, humanity, and genuine hope — for people living with Parkinson’s today, for those caring for them, and for anyone navigating life touched by neurodegenerative disease.
