Dr Federica Agosta

The 2019 SCOR Young European Researcher Prize for Research into Alzheimer’s disease was awarded to Dr Federica Agosta, medical doctor and researcher at the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan. Using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) techniques, her work aims to identify functional and structural markers of degeneration to enable early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and related disorders. She is also particularly interested in young-onset Alzheimer’s disease. She has published more than 200 articles in specialist scientific journals. The jury of renowned European researchers was chaired by Professor Jean-François Dartigues of the Bordeaux Population Health Research Center.

 


Commenting on the award, André Levy-Lang, Chairman of the SCOR Foundation for Science, said: “Advances in Alzheimer’s disease research, which the SCOR Foundation has supported for many years, play a key role in managing the risks faced by older age groups. Dr Agosta’s research is helping more specifically to pursue the age-old goal of prolonging life expectancy.”
