Highlights
• Implementation and management of the global and meticentric project MAGIC-AD for
the identification of objective early markers of Alzheimer’s disease. The results (73.33

% PPV, 100 % NPV, 83:33 % Accuracy) at individual level are in press in very high
impact journals and, due to its relevance, in multicentric replica process.

• First positive results in new rehabilitation therapies of STROKE by scaffolds and stem
cells.

• Great impact contributions for new mathematical and computational models of brain

networks for the characterization of pathological processes: EA, Epilepsy, Parkinson,
phobias, etc.

• Development of the platform PERSONA to support personalized care in diabetes ba-

sed on the integration of artificial intelligence methods and modeling and intermodal
simulation techniques.
