Scattering and lmaging for Health lnsights and New Evidence Core Group member and leader of WG4 (Neurodegenerative diseases), LINXS Fellow

Professor, Lund University, Lund, Sweden

Prof. Deierborg is leading the research group Experimental Neuroinflammation Laboratory. His research on neurodegenerative diseases characterized by protein aggregation, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. He is focusing on neuroinflammatory aspects and especially the function of microglia, known to be a reactive cell related to disease pathogenesis. The lab has revealed new ligands to immune receptors central in inflammation, and how inflammatory molecules can change the structure on diseases causing proteins. Experimental discoveries from his lab have led to clinical trials.
