Ageing is a significant risk factor for dementia and neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding the molecular basis of these brain circumstances is important for attaining their prevention and treatment. This programme focuses on unveiling the mechanisms implicated in neurodegeneration, including epigenetics and drug addiction. In addition, the validation of new pharmacological targets by using small molecules is one of our deals. Also, it includes the study of some polyglucosan structures that appear in these conditions, to find biomarkers related to them, and to study the neuroimmune interactions at central nervous system interfaces also detecting protein-protein interactions.
