Project Bio
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease which impairs the cognition, memory and behaviour of 24 million peole worldwide. There is no definitive diagnosis or monitoring modality for AD and the underlying disease mechanism is poorly understood. Clinical diagnosis and monitoring is heavily dependent upon potentially subjective behavioural evaluation of subjects. It is the goal of this project to develop a molecular imaging tool.
