About our lab
The Translational Neuroscience Laboratory is housed by The Latin American Brain Health Institute (BrainLat) at Univeristy Adolfo Ibanez (UAI), Chile. Since, neuroscience and brain health research are areas poorly developed in Latin America countries, we have focused our work on Alzheimer’s disease and dementia affecting this particular population contributing to diminish the major economic and social costs associated with brain health disorders. Our Lab provides a useful platform to generate new knowledge and link basic and clinical research, promoting high translational discoveries and clinical collaborations related with dementia. In order to carry out our aims, we have strong collaborations with regional initiatives, such as the Multi-partner consortium to expand dementia research in Latin America (ReDLat) and the Latin American and Caribbean Consortium on Dementia (LAC-CD).
