Ville Leinonen, professor of neurosurgery, leads the NPH and Early AD research team, whose research focuses on genomic factors predisposing to normal pressure hydrocephaly (NPH), biomarkers, validation of CSF and PET diagnostics, and the development of personalized therapy.

“Patients with idiopathic normal pressures hydrocephalus also often experience concomitant vascular cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease or other brain degeneration diseases. Our group collaborates extensively with teams located in Kuopio campus as well as national and international research teams” describes Ville.
