Bio/Research
Dr. Poirier has made some key contributions to the advancement of scientific research in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. He is internationally renowned for his work on the role of Apolipoprotein E in the normal and injured brain and in the genetics of Alzheimer's disease. Besides his seminal contribution in the field of the neurobiology of Apolipoprotein E, he has been a pioneer in the establishment of the pharmacogenomic bases of brain disease treatments. Recently, his work on the use of cholesterol lowering drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease has gained international recognition, as several independent epidemiological studies have demonstrated the potential protective effect of cholesterol lowering drugs belonging to the family of statins in sporadic Alzheimer’s disease.
