Studying Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease and Aging
Studying Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease and Aging Human Brain Proteome Project: Defining of Standards and Tasks Proteins serve as Biomarkers of Neurodegenerative Diseases One of the main challenges of this century is the understanding of our brain: Why are we getting senile? Which proteins are altered or modified in brain and spinal cord in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease? The HUPO Human Brain Proteome Project, coordinated by Prof. Dr. Helmut E. Meyer, Medical Proteom-Center of the Ruhr-University Bochum, and Prof. Dr. Dr. Joachim Klose, Charité, Campus Virchow-Klinikum of the Humbold-University Berlin, will address these questions. More than 45 scientists from Europe an
