Funded Activity Summary

This project will assess blood proteins as biomarkers for different pathogenic forms of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), one of the major neurodegenerative dementias with a very rapid disease progression (mean survival 3 years). At present, it is not possible to predict which pathological variant is present in any given patient. We plan to develop blood protein biomarker assays capable of diagnosing the pathology in vivo.
