About the project

The scientific research project "Vascular Impairment as Mediator of Alzheimer´s Disease (VIMAD)" has been approved by Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, specifically within the Serbian Scientific Cooperation Program with the Diaspora: Support for Visits of Diaspora Scientists.

The main goal of the VIMAD proposal is to strengthen scientific cooperation and knowledge exchange by establishing collaborative research that will introduce a new in vitro model in neuroscience research in Serbia. THE MAIN RESEARCH GOAL is to elucidate key molecular mechanisms underlying endothelial dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (АD) using primary brain endothelial cell cultures from AD and control animals of the state-of-the-art APPNL-G-F knock-in mouse model.

We believe that the collaboration between the research team led by dr Željko Pavković, including dr Milka Perović, dr Irena Jovanović Macura and PhD student Nikola Milovanović—from the Department of Neurobiology, Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković”, National Institute of the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, and Dr. Vesna Tešić from the Department of Neurology, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in Shreveport, USA, will be highly productive and exceptionally successful, with strong potential to develop into a sustainable, long-term partnership.
