Biocenter Kuopio:
...aims at building up a multidisciplinary research network between different actors in the fields of molecular medicine and related drug research and biotechnology. 
...is to find new molecular mechanisms underlying the common brain diseases, and thus identify novel targets to be used for intervention strategies.
...is also striving to identify novel biomarkers for predicting the risk and progression of the brain diseases as well as responses for medical treatments.

...to completely understand the role inheritance plays in Alzheimer’s disease. To achieve this goal, IGAP will work to identify all the genes that contribute to the risk of developing this disease.
Therapeutic and preventive impact of nutritional lipids on neuronal and cognitive performance in aging, Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. 
... project aims at the development of a diagnostic tool able to detect in blood as early as possible, and at a cost compatible with large scale screening, emerging neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Alzheimer’s Disease), and thus aid in the selection of the best treatment.
