Neurodegenerative research at St. Michael’s Hospital spans multiple diseases and involves both basic science and clinical applications. We are involved in identifying the basic mechanisms that lead to these diseases, improved diagnostic procedures and pharmacological management.
In terms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, our investigators have a proven track record of success in such areas as neuropathology, neuro-optics, neuroimaging, neuropsychiatry and clinical drug trials.
