Members of the Chair of Human Movement Science visited DTU in Copenhagen for the kick-off of the DTU-TUM Collaboration Project "BIOMARK on Neurodegenerative Diseases"

The kick-off meeting initiated a new collaboration between the Automation and Control Group at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and the Department of Sport and Health Sciences at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). This collaboration marks the inception of a research project aimed at advancing our understanding of and treatments for neurodegenerative diseases.

Led by Associate Professor Silvia Tolu from DTU and Professor Joachim Hermsdörfer from TUM, the project, titled "BIOMARK - Musculoskeletal Digital Twins and Machine Learning-based BIOMARKers for Neurodegenerative Diseases," aims to develop innovative solutions for the early detection and personalized treatment of Parkinson's Disease (PD) and other neurodegenerative disorders. The project, funded by DTU and the EuroTech Alliance, emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing complex health challenges. It combines expertise from both institutions to integrate advanced technologies, including musculoskeletal simulations, machine learning, and wearable sensor technologies, in developing novel diagnostic tools and therapeutic interventions.

Part of the meeting included a seminar titled "Neurodegenerative Diseases - Decoding Neural Control in Movement," organized by our partners at DTU, Prof. Silvia Tolu and M.Sc. Júlia Rey Vilches. The seminar, held on Friday, February 16th, encouraged discussion and networking opportunities in the field of neurodegenerative diseases.
