Our research Neurovascular changes are now increasingly recognized as a common denominator of many neurodegenerative disorders. In my group, we examine how microvascular alterations at the blood-brain barrier contribute to the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration. Our special focus is on pericytes as key players in inflammation and neurodegeneration and potential target cells for brain repair. Using

We study Huntington’s disease, the spectrum of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia. These are all fatal neurodegenerative disorders without disease-modifying therapies.Although research has previously focused on the well-known disturbances in motor function, emerging studies point to early non-motor features with altered emotional processing and met

Our group studies genetic factors that have a clinical impact on persons with Parkinson’s disease (PD). We examine patients and families with inherited forms of the disease (monogenic PD), as well as patients who develop PD early in life. Moreover, in a novel line of research, we explore whether combinations of variants in two different genes cause PD, a digenic disease mechanism.In a large popula

Our research Research in the laboratory attempts to define pathogenic cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in synucleiopathies, in particular Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy, and Alzheimer's disease. Our work focuses on the interactions between glia and neurons. We are constantly developing new and robust human stem cell-based models which we utilize to understand cell autono

Our research Our research is focused on identifying cellular and molecular mechanisms contributing to circuit remodeling in the postischemic brain. In particular, we are interested in how the activation of dopamine signaling cascades modulates processes of adaptive neuronal plasticity. Identifying specific dopamine-driven targets may provide candidates for a recovery-enhancing adjuvant pharmacolog

29 September 2026 08:30 to 16:30 | What makes a wetland thrive and what is the connection to climate? Is it carbon storage, clean water, climate and hydrological functions—or is it the diversity of plants, insects, fungi, birds and microorganisms that makes a wetland a living ecosystem? Join us for Thriving Wetlands, a day at SRC, to explore these and other questions, meet colleagues and discover

Can sustainable land use limit the impact of climate change on birds and biodiversity in general, and if so, how? These are some of the questions that will be addressed at today’s lecture organised by LU Land. This event is held in Swedish
