Abstract: The DRONE-project (Drug Repurposing fOr Neurological disEases) uses data from nationwide registries to identify repurposing candidates for treatment of Parkinson’s, ALS, MS, and Alzheimer’s disease. Recently, the project has received updated data with diagnostic codes from primary care, which will make it possible to also describe symptoms and signs during the prodromal phase of the diseases. In this seminar, Julia Romanowska, Julia Tuominen, and Magne Haugland Solheim will give some updates on recent results and plans.
NEUROSYSM920
Neuro-SysMed's seminar series is open to all and is, in addition, part of a 3 ECTS course in Neuro-SysMed's Research School, with subject code NEUROSYSM920.
The objectives of the seminars at the Neuro-SysMed Research School for Translational Neuroscience are to provide knowledge into the research field of the disciplines involved in Neuro-SysMed, and the treatment strategies for patients with MS, PD, ALS, and dementia.
The course entails monthly participation in the seminar series, a two-day symposium, and the submission of two written reports. Students are also required to present their own research or a self-chosen scientific topic at the symposium. Read more about the course code on the student webpages.
