The Evolution of AD Diagnosis: The Role of Biomarkers

Biomarkers are transforming the landscape of disease detection and diagnosis—especially in the realm of neurodegenerative disorders.

The Scientist hosted a dynamic live symposium featuring leading researchers at the forefront of biomarker discovery. The event spotlighted cutting-edge advancements in identifying and tracking neurological diseases, including:

  • Alzheimer’s disease (AD)
  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
  • Frontotemporal dementia (FTD)
  • … and more.

Among the distinguished speakers was our very own Francesca De Simone, who shared compelling insights into the evolving role of biomarkers in enhancing early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Her presentation highlighted how these molecular indicators are paving the way for more personalized and effective treatment strategies.

This symposium clip underscored the critical role biomarkers play in unraveling the complexities of neurodegeneration—and how they’re shaping the future of precision medicine.
