Research Focus
The Cerebellum and Neurodegeneration Research Group (CNRG) uses neuroimaging, fluid biomarkers, and digital assessment tools to understand brain and behavioural changes in people with cerebellar diseases, other forms of neurodegeneration, and aging.
We use a range of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) approaches to investigate and track brain changes in people with neurodegenerative diseases.
