Welcome to the De Strooper lab
We investigate the basic mechanisms causing Alzheimer’s disease (and Parkinson’s disease) starting from the genetic forms of these disorders. We study the complex cellular phase of Alzheimer’s disease using single cell, genome wide transcription profiling with spatial and temporal resolution.
We used to search for the origins of the plaques, but now we study the reactions of brain cells around these plaques. Like so many things in life, it is not about what happens, but how you deal with it.
