ICREA selects researchers based solely on their scientific achievements. However, excellent science often leads to the invention of new and amazing technologies and solutions. When that happens, ICREA fully supports the exploitation of these opportunities.

Our ICREA research professors are working in different Universities and Research Centres. On account of this, ownership of any intellectual or industrial property is always shared between ICREA and the host institution. To make negotiations as fast and conclusive as possible, host institutions are entitled to explore and engage in technology transfer activities on behalf of ICREA when opportunities arise. ICREA supports the exploitation efforts and offers advice throughout the process.

Please have a look at our current technologies and contact ICREA to learn more about them.

The present invention describes a method for the diagnosis or prognosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), comprising the steps of placing a sample isolated from a person suspected of having AD onto a substrate labeling the sample to identify at least one epigenetic marker and/or genetic variation and determining a state of AD, wherein one of said epigenetic markers is PM20D1 promoter DNA methylation and/or one of said genetic variation is in at least one of PM20D1 mQTL-associated SNPs. Also described is the use of PM20D1 as therapeutic target and viral vectors encoding PM20D1 for use in the therapy of AD. Moreover a kit for diagnosing AD comprising reagents for detecting the SNPs rs708727, rs947211, rs708730, rs708724 or rs823130 is disclosed.
