I am currently working on Alzheimer's disease through the Insulin Resistance hypothesis. Specifically, my research focuses on smallRNA (and especially miRNA) as potential biomarkers for the progression, early detection and acurate diagnose of Alzheimer's disease. In addition, I investigate the role of nutritional interventions on the modulation of these smallRNA and their effect on the disease. I use small RNA sequencing methods and qPCR.
