Long term in vivo follow-up of PET biomarkers in neurological disease models.

The aim of the project is to i) set-up chronic animal models for different neurological diseases, ii) to establish specific, but also common biomarkers for these diseases using in vivo imaging modalities (focusing on small animal PET imaging) and validation with histological techniques, iii) follow-up disease progress using these in vivo biomarkers in conjunction with bio-imaging, and iv) to evaluate treatment response using these in vivo biomarkers with bio-imaging.
