Research - Unit of Alzheimer's and Other Cognitive Disorders

The Alzheimer's and Other Cognitive Disorders Unit carries out different clinical and translational research projects whose objectives are to improve the tools for diagnosis, monitoring and prognosis of the main neurodegenerative dementias, as well as to investigate their causes in order to advance the knowledge that allows for the development of effective therapies for these diseases.

This research is carried out within the group of:

The main lines of research are:

• Study of preclinical and initial clinical phases of familial Alzheimer's disease and other genetically determined dementias.
• Study of early-onset sporadic Alzheimer's disease.
• Diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in non-Alzheimer dementias: frontotemporal dementia, primary progressive aphasia, dementia with Lewy bodies, prion diseases.
• Continuous aging health-Alzheimer's disease.
• Development and validation of screening tools and cognitive characterization.
• Pharmacological clinical trials.
• Research on non-pharmacological interventions in patients with cognitive impairment.

Actualmente, hay diferentes proyectos activos en estas líneas de investigación y anualmente se publican numerosos artículos en revistas científicas internacionales, así como numerosas comunicaciones en congresos nacionales e internacionales.
