We study the molecular basis of neurodegenerative diseases associated with the misfolding and brain accumulation of proteins, ... particularly focusing on Alzheimer’s, Parkinson's, and prion-related disorders. We perform multidisciplinary research, aiming for highly innovative discoveries and rapid translation of the basic science knowledge into medicine. Our goal is to eradicate Alzheimer’s, Parkinson and related diseases before it produces clinical symptoms and brain damage by combining the development of early diagnosis with efficient treatments. read more
