Drug delivery for treating neurodegenerative diseases

Our lab explores novel treatments for neurodegenerative disorders though FUS-augmented drugs delivery to the brain.

Technological facility includes:

  • a motorized system for control and target BBB/BTB opening in mice, rats and rabbits;
  • transducers for transcranial acoustic signals transmission and detection;
  • a monitoring system of MBs activity ensuring safety to the permeabilization protocols;
  • a system for monitoring animals physiological state.

The laboratory works synergically with the CIMETA center (Interdepartmental Center for Comparative Medicine, Alternative Techniques and Aquaculture) of the University of Rome Tor Vergata.
