Projects
The research group of adjunct Prof. Dr. med. Martin Regensburger focuses on the translational modelling of neurodegenerative diseases. Rooted in the clinical care of patients with movement disorders (particularly Parkinson’s disease, atypical parkinsonian syndromes, motor neuron diseases, and hereditary spastic paraplegias) the group’s translational research aims to improve the understanding of disease trajectories and mechanisms in these disorders, with a particular focus on immunological alterations and therapeutic targets.
