From the guts to the brain through adaptive immunity in the prevention of Alzheimer’ disease

Dr. Pasinetti is the Saunders Family Chair and Professor of Neurology at Icahn School of medicine at Mount Sinai, New York. His studies allowed him to develop novel therapeutic approaches through investigation of preventable risk factors including mood disorders in the promotion of resilience against neurodegenerative disorder. In his presentation Dr. Pasinetti will discuss novel concepts about the gut-brain axis in mechanisms associated to peripheral adaptive immunity as therapeutic targets to mitigate the onset and the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and other form of dementia.
