	AUTOIGG: Automated Functional Screening of IgGs for Diagnostics of Neurodegenerative Diseases (H2020-MSCA-RISE-2017 Proj. No. 778405) A consortium of 8 labs from 6 countries lead by Prof. Dr. Pavle Andjus, Ph.D. University of Belgrade with the objectives of: Development of experimental cellular models and procedures with immunoglobulins (IgGs) from patient sera as diagnostic and prognostic technologies related to neurodegenerative diseases, NDs (particularly based on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – ALS research). Defining mark-up characteristics of the standardized in vitro approach for personalized diagnostic protocols for NDs. Design of a small-scale platform based on automated fluorescence microscopy.
