Principal Investigator

Maiken Nedergaard
Maiken Nedergaard, M.D., DMSc
Email Maiken
Research Interest: The basic biology of glial cells in the CNS and the role of astrocytes in several neurological diseases, including stroke, spinal cord injury, epilepsy, tremor, and ALS. Research is aimed at defining new strategies for the treatment of neurological diseases that target astrocytic dysfunction.
