Agosta Federica

Federica Agosta is an Associate Professor of Neurology at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University (UniSR) and Functional Unit Head at San Raffaele Hospital (OSR), Milan, Italy. Her research focuses on neuroimaging in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

• PhD in Experimental Neurology (2012), UniSR
• Neurology Qualification (2008), UniSR
• MD in Medicine and Surgery (2003), UniSR

Research Interests: Federica Agosta's work bridges functional MRI (fMRI) with clinical applications in neurodegenerative disorders. She investigates:

• Brain network alterations in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
• Neuroimaging biomarkers for ALS and dementia
• Gender-specific neurological manifestations
• Advanced MRI techniques for early disease detection
• Cognitive rehabilitation strategies
• Neurodegeneration and brain connectivity

Recent Publications highlight trends in neuroimaging endpoints for ALS, memory systems, Parkinson's scales, sleep apnea, and epilepsy diagnostics. Her ERC Starting Grant (2017) and European Grand Prix for Young Researcher (2019) underscore her leadership in neurodegenerative disease research.

Scientific Roles:

• Coordinator, Doctoral Program in Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences (UniSR, 2024–)
• Co-PI, San Raffaele Neurotech Hub (2024–)
• President, Master's Degree Council in Rehabilitation Sciences (2021–)
• Visiting Professor, University of Belgrade (2017–)

Editorial & Societal Contributions: Member of the EAN Scientific Committee, Co-Chair of the ALS & FTD Panel, and active roles in societies like SIN and SINdem. She serves on editorial boards for Neurological Sciences and Neurology.
