Neurodegeneration Laboratory

The main focus of the Laboratory of Neurodegeneration is to use and combine different imaging techniques to identify useful biomarkers to track brain changes associated with neurodegenerative disorders even at a prodromal stage. This is particularly important because it may help clinicians with their diagnosis and recommendations for patients. Moreover, early identification of brain changes in at-risk participants is considered the key to developing early interventional strategies and lay the groundwork for studies in clinical populations. The Laboratory supports the research activity of other laboratories inside and outside the Institute and is supported by the facilities provided by the Hospital.
