"The Laboratory of Neuroimmunology and Cell and Molecular Neurobiology is involved in clinical research (ex vivo from samples of neurological patients), and preclinical research on experimental models of disease and cell cultures. It studies biological samples (mainly blood and liquor) at cellular and molecular level taken from patients with psychiatric and autoimmune diseases, inflammatory, neurodegenerative central nervous system diseases or from animal models of neurological diseases.
The Neuroimaging Laboratory processes magnetic resonance imaging of the CNS from neurological patients after their acquisition with both conventional and unconventional techniques, for studies aimed at clinical follow-up and in real life, and observational studies of the natural history of brain lesions of these patients.
The Laboratory analyses MRI end-points in both monocentric and multicentric clinical trials, develops MRI analysis techniques for the improvement of the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system.
