Project description
New blood for an Armenian medical school provides help for the aged
The aging population of Armenia is expected to grow as fertility rates decline, migration increases, and healthcare continues to improve. Age is one of the main risk factors for neurodegeneration, dementia and cognitive decline. COBRAIN is putting the aging brain in the Armenian research spotlight while enhancing the ability to attract, train and retain young scientists from Armenia and abroad. Twinning of a leading Armenian medical school with German and Swedish universities will enable cross-fertilisation, leading to the creation of an Armenian research powerhouse focused on the prevention and treatment of chronic brain disorders associated with aging. With a little luck, COBRAIN will stimulate new therapies for age-associated brain conditions while putting a damper on the brain drain.
