Our research is built around the identification of new therapeutic targets for neuroprotection and neurorepair, the identification of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in both biological fluids and neuroimaging and the study of the mechanisms of neuronal and vascular damage, in preclinical models of stroke, cerebral amyloidosis and Alzheimer's disease. We participate in clinical trials in Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.
