Research Interest

Pasinetti′s research into one of mankind’s most puzzling diseases has the potential to unlock one of the greatest mysteries of the human mind. His expertise in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and the molecular mechanisms influencing clinical dementia’s onset and progression made one of the world’s most sought after leaders in this field. His research experience in neurodegenerative diseases offers unprecedented possibilities towards the discovery of novel strategies in the treatment of AD, as well as other diseases and conditions. Along with this line of study, the proposed research application seeks to investigate the therapeutic validity of delaying the onset and possibly slowing the progression of AD, dementia, and amyloid neuropathology
