Research

  • My research focuses on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and its clinical and biological overlap with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). I am particularly interested in understanding the mechanisms underlying disease heterogeneity, including differences in clinical presentation, progression, and cognitive and behavioural symptoms.

    My work combines longitudinal clinical data with fluid biomarkers, proteomics, and advanced neuroimaging to identify markers of neurodegeneration and disease-related pathology. A central aim is to improve early diagnosis, prognostic prediction, and patient stratification, ultimately facilitating the development and evaluation of targeted treatments.

    I am also involved in collaborative initiatives to strengthen clinical and translational research across the ALS-FTD spectrum.
