Présentation
Personalized Medicine
The Carnot Brain Institute has structured its research strategy into major thematic and transversal axis adapted to the unsatisfied needs of "translational" research in the field of Neurosciences.
With large cohorts of patients and top-notch neuro-imaging and “omics” facilities, biomarkers and new therapeutic targets can be identified at accelerated rate for diseases ranging from Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, to epilepsy, psychiatric diseases and neuro-oncological tumors. Some are already in routine use at the Institute for a personalized diagnosis and a prediction of responses to treatments.

New technologies for healthcare:
“Biomarkers” can be applied for diagnosis and prognosis of disease progression. In the field of neurosciences, they can also easily been made accessible at home with non-invasive neurotechnology devices measuring cognition, behavior, brain activity and allowing each individual person to monitor its health parameters and become an actor of its own treatment.
Technologies can also be the therapy itself: deep brain stimulation for movement disorders, therapeutic ultrasounds, transcranial magnetic stimulation, etc. are developed at the ICM Carnot Institute thanks to the support of 7,000 m² of technological platforms.
Health key numbers:
- 25 research teams, 11 of which are international
- More than 4500 publications since 2012
- 10 technological platforms
