Ju Young Shin is a Professor at the University of Delaware School of Nursing. Dr. Shin's research has improved understanding of symptom management for Parkinson’s disease (PD) and highlighted the important role of family caregivers in PD care. Her work has been cited by researchers in over 30 countries, serving as a foundation for their research related to PD. Her recent studies also emphasize the vital role of unpaid family caregivers and the insufficient support for Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias (ADRD).
