Research

As Chief of the Brain Institute Center of Excellence for Novel Approaches to Neurodiagnostics and Neurotherapeutics, Dr. Pasinetti has developed novel drug discovery programs for Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Pasinetti is leading a primary translational Center to determine whether interventions which appear to work in the preclinical animal model of the disease also show promise in treating patients who have the disease. Dr. Pasinetti is utilizing innovative, drug discovery, genomic and proteomic technologies, which offer the promise to shed light on largely unseen details of disease causality, onset, and progression. Through the approach of “repurposing currently used drugs for other indications” Dr. Pasinetti is currently identifying new therapies that will provide clinical benefits
