Our Foundation supports the Research Project of Dr. Federico Verde of IRCCS Istituto Auxologico italiano, regarding “Biomarker definition in neurodegenerative pathologies, with particular attention to dementias and motor neurone diseases”.
The Research Project, as confirmed by Vincenzo Silani, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurology-Stroke Unit and Laboratory of Neuroscience at IRCCS Istituto Auxologico italiano – University of Milan, has important implications for scientific research and the fight against neurodegenerative diseases.
The study of biomarkers will allow to obtain useful information for the diagnosis, for differentiation compared to other diseases and for prognostic stratification. The studies, performed in cooperation with other research centres in Germany, will especially focus on dementias (Alzheimer Syndrome, Frontotemporal degeneration, Dementia with Lewy bodies) as well as on motor neuron diseases.
