RESEARCH
At LIRM, we are more than researchers — we are visionaries dedicated to improving quality of life and building a healthier future for generations to come.
We are focused to understand the underlying mechanisms, develop effective treatments, and ultimately improve patient outcomes in the face of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Multiple sclerosis (MS), Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Parkinson’s disease (PD) and more. Neurodegenerative diseases are among the most widespread and impactful conditions today.

Neurodegenerative diseases are among the most widespread and impactful conditions today.
Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects over 55 million people globally, a number expected to reach 139 million by 2050 due to aging populations
Multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects approximately 2.8 million people worldwide
Frontotemporal dementia
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), though rarer, remains a significant challenge, impacting 50,000–60,000 people in the United States alone

Our approach emphasizes three critical areas:
1. Biology of Aging
We investigate the biological mechanisms underlying aging, aiming to better understand how these processes contribute to disease development and progression.
2. Decline in Regenerative Capacity
Aging is accompanied by a reduced ability of the body to regenerate and repair itself. Our research encompasses areas such as stem cell biology to explore ways to restore or enhance the body's natural regenerative potential.
3. Diminished Immune System Function
The immune system's activity decreases with age, making individuals more susceptible to infections, chronic diseases, and immune dysregulation. We aim to identify strategies to counteract this decline and strengthen immune resilience.
