Available PhD projects
Current PhD projects use imaging techniques such as MRI and PET in combination with biomarkers from cerebrospinal fluid, blood and genetics, and cutting-edge pattern recognition algorithms to understand and predict neurodegenerative diseases. Furthermore, meta-analytic techniques and telemedicine approaches are applied.
