How it begins

Un análisis exhaustivo sobre los mecanismos moleculares que rigen las patologías del sistema nervioso central y periférico. Desde la cinética de translocación proteica y las proteopatías amiloidogénicas, hasta el estudio cuantitativo del líquido cefalorraquídeo mediante electroenfoque, espectrometría de masas de biomarcadores plasmáticos y la genética molecular de las canalopatías.
