Diagnose Alzheimer’s disease with isotopes
The project aims to utilize high-precision stable isotope measurements of metals to detect early stages of Alzheimer's disease, combining geochemistry with medical science for potential patenting.
Projectdetails
Introduction
During the course of the PRISTINE proposal, we have developed the first high precision, high sensitivity stable isotope measurements for a variety of vital elements, including Zn and Cu.
Technical Advances
With these technical advances, we realized that we could monitor stable isotopic changes within organisms. This opens up a new way to study metal homeostasis as well as new methods for detection and diagnosis of diseases, in particular Alzheimer's disease.
Future Exploration
In DAI, we will further explore and make use of these unique technical advances to demonstrate the feasibility of using stable isotope geochemistry of metals to detect the early stages of Alzheimer's disease.
Methodology
To reach this goal, we will combine our technical skills developed during PRISTINE with medical science to demonstrate this proof of concept. If successful, we aim to file a patent.
Significance
This would represent a unique way to apply isotope cosmochemistry to medical science fields.
