RESEARCH

The aim of my research is to 1) identify genetic risk factors for common neurodegenerative disorders in the population-based and neuropathologically characterized Vantaa 85+ Study, and 2) to characterize familial forms of neurodegenerative disorders both genetically and neuropathologically.
