Our research We are interested in how gene expression is regulated in the brain and how this process influences human brain evolution, neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatric disorders, and brain tumors. Our current focus is to study the role of epigenetic mechanisms and transposable elements. Our technical expertise includes CRISPR, reprogramming, bioinformatics, single-cell analysis, and human s

Our research Our main focus is understanding peripheral pathology in Huntington’s disease (HD) and to investigate its importance for disease pathogenesis and biomarkers. HD is the most common inherited neurodegenerative disorder and is often regarded as a model for both sporadic and inherited neurodegenerative diseases. Many clinical features of HD can be ascribed to the dysfunction and death of n

Our researchOur research focuses on identifying new early mechanisms and biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and thereby improve the development of new treatments and diagnostic tools. Our strategy is to investigate the effect of AD risk factors like stress, inflammation, metabolic changes, and amyloidogenesis, on different types of brain cells including pericytes, astrocytes, neur

Our research Motor impairments are common among people with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). In older people in general, some motor abilities seem to decline prior to the development of a major neurocognitive disorder, i.e. dementia. Our research primarily involves patients with PD and those at risk of developing dementia. We address health from a broad perspective, inc

Flow Cytometry Analysis and Fluorecence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) Flow cytometry enables measurement of fluorescence intensity of particles (cells) in a liquid stream. Analysis of live and fixed cells may be based on size, granularity/complexity, fluorescent proteins, cell surface antigen expression, intracellular antigen expression, DNA content. Flow cytometry is ideal for multiplexing target

Artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) knowledge base The usefulness of artificial intelligence/machine learning technologies in neuroscience spans from the practical to the abstract; they can be used to automatize labor-intensive analysis steps or for explorative analysis of large, complex data sets. They can even serve as model systems to study emergent properties of neural networks.Th

consequences for freedom of speech and democracy A majority of the early scientific research on the internet had, rather uncritically, high hopes for the new technology’s potential to advance democratic development in society. Today we know that the internet also poses serious challenges to the democratic legal state. One such challenge are threats and hatred aimed at journalists. This occurs to s
