Scientific Area of Research

Scientific initiatives that stimulate translation of ideas from basic animal research to testing the safety and early indications of efficacy through phases I and II clinical trials, epidemiological studies of the natural history and early markers of neurological disorders and stroke, to elucidate the causative path leading to the disorders and to stimulate the search for new treatments and prevention strategies.
