Biography & Research:
BSc in Biology and PhD in the area of Neurosciences.
My research interests focus on disease biomarker discovery, in particular the goal is to identify and validate new biomarkers candidates for the clinical diagnosis of dementia. The research team explores the potential of exosomes for Alzheimer´s disease diagnostics purposes. Biomarker candidates are addressed in AD mimicking models and in AD cases. Particular emphasis is given to phosphorylation-related biomarkers. The clinical value of these putative candidates is evaluated in distinct cohorts.
