Research Abstract
The aims of the present project are to develop novel Positron Emission Tomography (PET) ligands targeting soluble oligomers/protofibrils of amyloid ? protein (A?) and to develop
biochemical assays to measure these species of A? in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Such tools would enable us to:
* Follow disease progression in early Alzheimers disease (AD) cases
* Quantify therapeutic effects of novel treatments
* Identify Alzheimer cases with diffuse plaque pathology
