How MultiPark research creates value for society Our research is of high societal relevance. Living with a progressive neurodegenerative disease has detrimental effects for the individual and next of kins, including inducing major societal challenges. Moreover, major neurocognitive disorders (“dementia”) are considered a global health challenge and priority. Our goal is to early detect those at r
