The project has been possible, among others, thanks to the support of EIT Digital, which allocated \u20ac1M for its development; la Caixa\u201d Foundation, which granted it a financial aid of \u20ac50,000 through CaixaResearch Validate. The consultancy firm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcb.ub.edu\/en\/empresa\/genesis-biomed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Genesis Biomed<\/a>, based in the Barcelona Science Park, has also collaborated in the consortium project as lead and business partner. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The constitution of BetaScreen is the culmination of the artificial intelligence algorithms research project developed five years ago at BBRC, based on an algorithm capable of interpreting image biomarkers from Magnetic Resonance and CT scans, which allows to identify the presence of abnormal levels of Alzheimer\u2019s disease biomarkers in the brain of individuals without cognitive alterations.<\/p>\n<p>BetaScreen\u2019s technology will be applied in MRI and CT scans performed on people participating in clinical trials for Alzheimer\u2019s disease, which has a preclinical phase of up to 20 years before the first symptoms appear. It is precisely during this phase that cognitively healthy people may present an abnormal accumulation of beta-amyloid protein in the brain, the presence of which exponentially increases the risk of Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n<p>The identification of beta-amyloid protein is complex, as the techniques used \u2013 lumbar puncture and positron emission tomography (PET) \u2013 are invasive and expensive. Thanks to the application of BetaScreen\u2019s machine learning algorithms to MRI scans \u2013 mandatory in any initial screening of a clinical trial \u2013 it will be possible to identify which people really need the standard tests and in which cases they can be avoided because they are less likely to show preclinical alterations. Thus, it will be possible to detect people who could benefit from clinical prevention trials in a more cost-effective way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bb For further information: <a href=\"https:\/\/genesis-biomed.com\/genesis-biomed-supports-the-creation-of-betascreen-the-first-spin-off-of-the-pasqual-maragall-foundation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Genesis Biomed website [+]<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Barcelona\u03b2eta Brain Research Center (BBRC), research center of the Pasqual Maragall Foundation, has constituted this November BetaScreen, the first spin-off of the Foundation.
