ICON is a multidisciplinary project centered on
NEURODEGENERATION
NEURODEGENERATION
OUR PROPOSAL
OBJECTIVES
1. To identify new risk markers of neurodegeneration, namely metabolic, immunological and genetic.
2. To analyze the influence of some environmental contaminants in neurodegenerative diseases.
3. To clarify the mechanisms of regulation of nutrient and drug transporters in the brain barriers.
4. To promote brain protection by antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents.
5. To regulate vascular function to improve brain function.
6. To synthesize and evaluate new molecules with therapeutic potential to treat neurodegenerative diseases.
7. To develop and implement new biotechnological platforms for the delivery of neuroprotective drugs to the brain.
