Attività

Il gruppo di ricerca si occupa di cefalee primarie e secondarie, di sindromi atassiche e di malattie demielinizzanti (in particolare sclerosi multipla). L’approccio a tali patologie si articola tramite studi clinici, genetici, di neuroimaging e di immunopatologia. E’ in corso lo studio dei fattori di genere che possono modulare la storia clinica di malattia nelle cefalee e nelle sindromi demielinizzanti. Tramite network nazionali (Genova, Milano, Bari) ed internazionali (Toronto, Parigi, Londra) è in corso la genotipizzazione degli affetti per l’isolamento di nuovi fattori di rischio. Il gruppo è coinvolto in studi farmacologici di Fase III e Fase IV per valutare l’efficacia e la sicurezza di farmaci immunomodulatori (DMD) nella sclerosi multipla.
