Project description

This PhD project is an integrated part of the interdisciplinary collaborative project entitled ‘Development of new diagnostic tools and therapies in Alzheimer's disease’. With new pharmacological approaches, we aim to slow down detrimental neuroimmune responses, with the aim to ameliorate neuropathology and preserve cognitive abilities in Alzheimer's disease. The animal experimental part of the project will make use a well-characterized transgenic rat model for Alzheimer's disease. Treatment effects will be assessed by behavioral testing, neuroimaging, evaluation of blood and CSF biomarkers, and by neuropathological/microscopic, immunological, molecular, and biochemical analysis of the brains. Molecular techniques, such as RNASeq, will be applied pending the question. The aim is to obtain mechanistic understanding.
