Welcome / Velkommen

Our research focusses on basic molecular mechanisms and new treatment options for neurodegenerative diseases with special emphasis on Alzheimer’s disease. We investigate clearance mechanisms of toxic peptides via the blood-brain barrier, new imaging  techniques, mitochondrial function, and neuroimmunological mechanisms. Our work also includes Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, ALS and other proteopathies of the brain. We also investigate brain tumors and brain metastasis using Mass Spectrometry imaging. If you are interested to collaborate with us, please do not hesitate to get in contact.

Johanniskraut und Griechischer Bergtee zur Demenzbehandlung

Hier ein Link zu Rückmeldungen von Patienten und Angehörigen zu Behandlungen bei dementieller Symptomatik absierend auf unseren Experimenten mit Alzheimer-Mäusen. Publizierte wissenschaftliche Daten finden Sie unter Publikationen.

St. John’s wort and Greek Mountain tea for dementia treatment

Here you find a link to replies of patients and relatives to treatment that we have developed for dementia based on our Alzheimer mice experiments. Published scientific articles you can find under publications.

How patients can help us:

Our research needs research funding – if you like what we do, please support patient initiatives or scientific organisations which support research matters.
Or donate to us directly as a free donation or bound to a specific purpose: dementia, Alzheimer’s, brain tumors, Huntngton’s or even more specific.
We will drive your funded and guided projects. Check our funding page for ongoing and recent projects.

Many thanks for supporting dementia research.
