Research
Our team studies cellular mechanisms of cerebrovascular injury mechanisms in ALS neurodegeneration to find novel clinical biomarkers and therapeutic solutions.
Publication highlight:
MÃ¥nberg A. et al. Nature Medicine, April 2021
Nature Medicine News and Views, April 2021
Karolinska Institute Press release.
Our web resource for cell-specific gene expression in ALS:
We look at how blood vessel dysfunction and vascular remodelling lead to
increased severity of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and FTD using
bioinformatics, in-vivo rodent models and clinical samples. We collaborate
with the leading neurology centres in Europe and US including UZ Leuven in
Belgium, Univ. Utrecht in Holland, Ulm Univ. in Germany and UCSD in San
Diego. Our results lead to novel off-label drug applications to therapy and
biomarkers in neurodegeneration including ALS, stroke and multiple sclerosis.
We offer Master student, PhD and Postdoc positions to highly motivated and
enthusiastic researchers. For details, send an email to sebastian.lewandowski@ki.se
