Rubén Vidal studies neurodegenerative diseases, focusing on how misfolded and abnormal proteins (such as tau and amyloid) accumulate in the brain and contribute to conditions like Alzheimer's disease and inherited dementias. Much of this work uses mouse models and structural imaging to understand disease mechanisms, including the roles of brain support cells (astrocytes), iron metabolism, and the protein ferritin.
