Biomarkers in AD

Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology

Prof. Maria Barcikowska; Department of Neurodegenerative Disorders, Medical Research Centre, Polish Academy of Sciences

Department of Neurodegenerative Disorders, headed by prof. Maria Barcikowska was established as an independent unit in 2000. The research scopes of the Department encompass diagnosis, treatment of the vast spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders, as well as the basic research in the field of genomics, transcriptomics, biochemistry and cell biology. The Department is a center of differential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Parkinson's disease (PD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Lewy body dementia (LBD), vascular dementia (VD), and other older age neurodgenerative conditions.
 
Two closely co-operating units form the Department: Alzheimer's Disease Division of the Clinic of Neurology, localized in the Central Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration (head: prof. Tomasz Gabryelewicz MD, PhD, DSc) and Laboratory of Neurogenetics (head: prof. Cezary Żekanowski PhD, DSc), localized in the main MRC building.
