SAA technology, also known as RT-QuIC, enables the highly sensitive and specific detection of misfolded proteins such as alpha-synuclein and prions in biological samples. This method offers promising approaches for the early diagnosis and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases. Read more here.

Patients & relatives

Our research on PET tracers aims to visualize pathological protein deposits such as alpha-synuclein in order to better diagnose neurodegenerative diseases and monitor their progression. You can find out more about this in our publications.
