Activity

Neuropathological and neurophysiological study of neurological disorders animal models. Production and description of experimental models of glioma and other neurological diseases and their use for experimental therapies (e.g. nanoparticles). Study of the molecular pathogenesis of rare genetic neurologic diseases (CADASIL and Familiar Amyloid Neuropathy). Biomarkers for neurologic diseases.

Biological basis of neurorehabilitation. New technologies for neurorehabilitation: automatic evaluation of movement disorders, "virtual reality"techniques, tele-rehabilitation, stimulation techniques (rTMS, tDCS), etc.

Genetics, molecular pathogenesis, clinic, neurophysiology, treatment, rehabilitation and tele-medicine of Parkinson's disease and Parkinsonisms.

Group’s ECR Sectors:

LS4_6 - Cancer and its biological basis

LS5_11 - Neurological disorders (e.g. Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease)

LS5_2 - Molecular and cellular neuroscience

LS7_1 - Medical engineering and technology

LS7_2 - Diagnostic tools (e.g. genetic, imaging)

LS7_3 - Pharmacology, pharmacogenomics, drug discovery and design, drug therapy
