Neuroimaging, Molecular and Digital Medicine in... (Leggi tutto)
Scientific Head: Prof. Mario Clerici
Neuroimaging and decision making support strategies based on both biological measurements (genetics, immunology and virology microbiology) and on digital data (morpho functional imaging and e Health).
The research area is focused on the development of new rehabilitation programs that rely on the use of quantitative profiles and indicators derived from biological measures (genetics, immunology, and virology-microbiology) as well as digital measures that come from morpho functional imaging and e-Health.
The improvement of rehabilitation medicine towards greater precision, predictiveness and personalisation, goes through a high level of sophistication and through the integration of multiple scientific languages in an innovative “rehabilomics” and quantitative approach.
The application of this approach to patients with complex, chronic conditions undergoing therapeutic and experimental rehabilitation, allows to improve decision-making and treatments personalization. The knowledge about neurofunctional mechanisms from neuroimaging studies can also contribute to guiding digital-therapeutics solutions in the rehabilitation field.
To achieve the aims have been developed in the following five sub-areas.
