Research Abstract


This Fellowship will develop novel diagnostic techniques in those patients who are at risk of developing Dementia and Parkinson’s Disease. Participants will also be encouraged to enrol in a brain donation program allowing detailed information for future correlations between symptoms and brain changes. This work will lead to the creation of a diagnostic matrix (At Risk Index) that will provide clinicians and researchers with tools to inform better diagnosis, prognosis and therapy.
