In 1999, Liguori worked at the Brain Repair Center, University of Cambridge, UK (Dr. M. G. Spillantini) in projects on neurodegenerative diseases. In 2001, she was involved in the collaborative study known as Genetic Analysis of Ms in EuropeanS (GAMES) which tried to identify genetic hot-spot regions possible associated with the MS susceptibility (Laboratory of the Neurology Unit, University of Cambridge, UK; Dr. S. Sawcer). Since 2002, she has been a staff member of the Institute of Neurological Sciences, National Research Council of Mangone (CS, Italy), where she is devoting the main scientific interest in the investigation of the genetic issues underlying MS susceptibility and clinical/radiological outcomes. In October 2008, Dr. Liguori joined the Center for Neurological Imaging, Harvard Medical School of Boston, USA (Dr. C. R. G.
