One of our directors, Yolande Pijnenburg, a neurologist specializing in this topic, and her colleagues at Alzheimer Center Amsterdam, investigate why neurodegeneration starts in these specific brain regions: prefrontal and temporal cortex. Their scientific work should contribute to understanding FTD and ultimately work towards prevention.
We are incredibly proud to see the dedication of many of our researchers, like Suzanne Miedema, Annemieke Rozemuller, and Mathijs Dijsselhof featured on national TV and their overarching mission to deepen our understanding of the brain. Only through collaboration across different specialisms can we move closer to the answers we seek.
