Interests
Salvo Spina, MD, PhD
Associate Professor of Neurology
It is in the fascinating microscopic world of neuropathology that we must look to unveil the cure of neurodegenerative dementias.
Current Work
Salvo is a behavioral neurologist with extensive experience in the neuropathology of neurodegenerative dementia. The central focus of his research is the study of the neuropathological substrates underlying the heterogeneous phenotypic expression of dementia. Salvo’s research aims to ascertain the neuropathological correlates of in vivo biomarkers of neurodegeneration.

Vision
It is in the microscopic world of neuropathology, the intricate networks of neurons and their connections, that the secrets of neurodegenerative dementias ultimately reside. It is in this fascinating world, that we must look to unveil the cure of these diseases.
Strategy
Salvo’s research methodology integrates behavioral neurology, neuroimaging, as well as classic and advanced neuropathology to assess dozens of protein and nucleic acid markers in the same histological sections. His research focuses on the development of deep learning algorithms for biomarkers quantifications.
Motivation
At GBHI, Salvo teaches the writing skills curriculum and is the organizer of the case study section of the Global Neurology Forum, a quarterly, video-conference stage aimed at promoting a world-wide discussion on the impact of social determinants of care on brain health and disease.
