The team is led by Magali Seassau, head of scientific studies at EyeBrain, and its aim is to foster scientific exchange with Institut du Cerveau – ICM researchers and speed up the development of clinical research tools for neurological diseases.
One in eight people is affected by these diseases, which are characterized by lesional eruptions on the brain, the spinal cord, the peripheral nerves or the muscles. They are often chronic and incapacitating conditions that require extensive medical treatment and social care.
