Speaker
Dr. Laia Montoliu-GayaAssistant Professor, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
Dr. Laia Montoliu-Gaya, Assistant Professor at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, is the inventor of a unique mass spectrometry method to detect tau species in blood for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, she is a co-inventor of a digital immunoassay for the quantification of p-tau205 in human biofluid and has also performed extensive work in diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease in individuals with Down syndrome.
