Decoding neurodegeneration with human data
Saez Atienzar Lab
The Saez Atienzar Lab investigates the complex biology of neurodegenerative diseases that cannot be resolved through reductionist approaches alone. We integrate large-scale human datasets with experimental systems to uncover disease mechanisms and accelerate therapeutic discovery in ALS, FTD, and related disorders.
“Neurodegenerative diseases are among the most urgent challenges of our time, driven by an aging global population and the lack of effective therapies.
In my lab we use data-driven, human-centric approaches to understand, prevent, and treat neurodegeneration. We integrate large-scale patient data with experimental disease models to uncover disease mechanisms and guide therapeutic discovery.
Our goal is to turn complex biological data into actionable insight for neurodegenerative disease“.
