Vision
To reduce the impact of dementia we need to take care of all the aspects directly affecting the patients' quality of life, as well as to develop accurate tools for an early diagnosis and tailored treatments.
Strategy
Neus is working to better understand the underlying mechanisms of sleep-wake alterations in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. This can help to promote novel diagnostic biomarkers and identify novel targets for drug development.
Impact
Her journey as an Atlantic Fellow has reinforced his commitment to improving Alzheimer's disease's diagnostic framework. The enriching and inspiring atmosphere at UCSF has widened his perspectives on Alzheimer's disease neurobiological basis to embrace novel sleep-related biomarkers in his research.
Motivation
Sleep disturbances are underdiagnosed and mistreated in dementia patients, and they have a very negative impact on patients and their families. There is a need to improve diagnostic tools and promote tailored treatments to provide better care to our patients.
