Other examples of acquired brain injuries of interest to our group are traumatic brain injury (TBI), multiple sclerosis (MS),  and hydrocephalus.

In alignment with MultiPark's strategic goals

• Understand the origins and progression of neurodegenerative disease.
• Develop early and differential diagnostics and prognostics.
• Create new therapeutic approaches for prevention, disease modification and management of unmet medical needs.

Overarching goals

• Increase our understanding of neurodegenerative processes and cognitive decline related to acquired brain injuries.
• Understand adaptive and maladaptive plasticity in acquired brain diseases that compensate for neurodegeneration.
• Use refined imaging techniques to monitor stages of neurodegeneration from the molecular to the organ level.

Planned activities

The group plans to arrange afternoons with research presentations twice/semester and bi-monthly lunch journal clubs organized by PhD students. Furthermore, we plan to create a catalogue to share antibodies, protocols, samples, patient cohorts, microscopes, transgenic mouse colonies, etc.
