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

Our research The Translational Neuroendocrine Research Unit (TNU) focuses on Huntington’s disease (HD). Furthermore, we study the spectrum of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and the behavioral variant of frontal temporal dementia (bvFTD). These are fatal neurodegenerative disorders without effective disease-modifying therapies. Although research has previously focused on the well-known disturb

Our research Our group studies genetic causes of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other neurological/neurodegenerative movement disorders. Emphasis presently lies on patients and families with inherited disease forms, where mutations in a single gene cause the disease. Such genetic disease forms offer the possibility to discover and study novel disease mechanisms. Genetic testing is increasingly used

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

Our research We focus on finding protective factors for neurodegenerative disorders, with emphasis on Parkinson’s disease (PD). Our strategy is to identify risk factors in genes, lifestyle and environment, to learn about the underlying causes for disease, and how to interfere with these. In this quest, we combine molecular biology with in vitro and in vivo models and studies in clinical materials.

Our research Our research centers on aging and neurodegenerative diseases. We aim to gain a better understanding of underlying disease mechanisms and aid in the development of better biomarkers for disease progression and clinical trials. We focus on characterizing the causes and effects of granular patterns of neurodegeneration, particularly in medial temporal lobe (MTL) subregions, which are sel

Our research Our research uses reprogramming strategies to generate interneurons from novel cell sources with the aim to extensively define the subtype and function of these for therapeutic development, e.g. via interneuron cell replacement. For this, we are using reprogramming technology in animal models or human stem cell culture systems, together with electrophysiology, RNA sequencing, tracing

Our research We use Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to understand disease mechanisms and disease progression in neurodegenerative disorders. Our work focus on: 1) Parkinson’s disease (PD) and related “atypical” Parkinsonian Disorders. 2) tau PET imaging for diagnosis and tracking disease progression in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and other tauopathies such as Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD) and Pr
