Collaborators

We collaborate with the Neurodegeneration Team, headed by Dr. Poul Henning Jensen. We share research interest with this group and our in vivo approach is complemented by their in vitro extensive expertise.

We collaborate with Professor Dr. J. Kjem, Aarhus Univ., Denmark. In projects regarding biomarkers analysis in Parkinson’s Disease models.

We collaborate with Drs Lin Lin and Yong Lu in projects regarding transcriptomic analysis of the immune response in Parkinson’s Disease patients and animal models

We analyze human samples provided by collaborators through the world: Per Borghammer (AUH), Roy Alcaly (Israel), Leonidas Stefanis (Greece), Kathrin Brockmann (Germany).

Dr Annie Landau at PET center is an ongoing collaborator with a research interest on in vivo imaging of the changes occurring in brain during neurodegenerative disease

Our work with Dr. D Brooks & Dr. N Pavese Aarhus Univ. Hospital PET center, focus on the immune changes in brain and periphery during neurodegeneration

Our experiments dealing with the CD163 macrophages in Parkinson’s Disease are done in collaboration with Dr. Søren Moestrup’ Lab at the Dept of Biomedicine, Univ. of Aarhus.

Our common interest on neuroinflammation in Parkinson’s disease is the base of the collaboration of our lab and Dr. Malu Tansey’s at the Department of Physiology, Emory University, USA.

Other previous collaborators include:

Dr. Maria Swanberg, Univ. of Lund, Sweden and our lab has a common interest in the role of MHCII in alpha-synuclein induced neurodegeneration

 Dr. Nadia Stefanova, Innsbruck Univ. Austria in the  Neuroimmunological characterization in and MSA model
