Brief description With life expectancy increasing Alzheimer�s disease (AD) poses a rising medical and socioeconomic challenge, emphasising the need for the development of prevention and treatment strategies. Such strategies will be most effective if administered early in the disease process, making early diagnosis critical to their success. The identification of biomarkers in this project, which are altered during the development of AD, will lead to the development of such a means to diagnosis AD at an early stage, when interventions will have the most impact.
