Research Abstract
Advances in positron emission tomography now allow specific pathological features of many brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease to be measured with a brain scan during life. This Fellowship will assist Professor Rowe and his team in their world leading work on new PET scanning techniques to improve diagnosis and assist the development of treatment for Alzheimer’s and other degenerative diseases of the brain.
