MRI is a powerful tool for measuring how the brain changes across life and how conditions like preterm birth or concussion can disrupt the brain’s development.

Dehydration can be dangerous for older adults.

The abnormal accumulation of misfolded proteins and aggregates is the hallmark of multiple forms of ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases.

While significant efforts have been made worldwide, the development of an effective therapy to significantly slow or halt ALS disease progression has remained elusive.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of upper and lower motor neurons (MNs).

The project addresses a grand challenge in ALS, the integration of a multi-targeted and personalized approach to patients with a rational strategy focusing on a unifying pivotal mechanism of the disease.
