Jonas Neher
Group Leader
Jonas has been leading the group for Experimental Neuroimmunology since 2015. He is excited by new discoveries and by applying new technologies to understand the mechanisms of neurodegenerative disease.
Jessica Wagner
Postdoc
Jessy is our expert for
medin amyloid and a crucial team-member. She has
developed many methods
for the detection and analysis of medin amyloidosis
in the aging and Alzheimer's
disease brain.
Ping Liu
Postdoc
Ping studies molecular reprogramming of microglia in Parkinson's and Huntington's disease, using molecular analyses (scRNA/ATAC- and ChIP-seq) to examine their role in these diseases.
Desirée Brösamle
Graduate Student
Desirée is our bioinformatics and molecular biology specialist. She studies microglial heterogeneity in aging and Alzheimer's disease using single cell profiling approaches.
Nina Hermann
Graduate Student
Nina is developing our research on metabolic microglial reprogramming in Alzheimer disease and studies behavioural changes after microglial manipulation.
Marleen Veit
Graduate Student
Marleen is investigating medin amyloid and its role in age-related vascular dysfunction and Alzheimer disease and is characterising new mouse models of medin pathology.
Xidi Yuan
Postdoc
Xidi is our
neuroimmunology expert.
She is very interested in
microglia as well as T-cell function in the aged and inflamed brain.
Lisa Steinbrecher
Graduate Student
Lisa's work focuses on metabolic microglial reprogramming in Alzheimer's disease and its contribution to plaque pathology.
Katleen Wild
Technical Assistant
Kati is our lab manager,
and FACS specialist.
She keeps our lab
up and running!
