Identification of Blood Protein Markers for TSE Disease

Objective

This research project aims to investigate whether certain proteins present in blood could be used as a diagnostic test for BSE in cattle and CJD in humans.

More information

There is a major requirement for an anti-mortem blood-based assay capable of identifying BSE infected cattle and CJD infected humans at the preclinical stages of these diseases.
