Alexander Storch

Professor Dr. Alexander Storch is a faculty member at the University of Rostock's University Medical Center, where he works in the Center for Neurology at the Clinic for Neurology and Polyclinic. His research primarily investigates neurodegenerative disorders, with specialized focus on Parkinson's disease mechanisms and treatments.

His work explores:

• Deep brain stimulation effects on neuroplasticity
• Dopaminergic system modulation
• Adult neurogenesis regulation
• Biomarker development for Parkinson's
• Fronto-striatal pathway dysfunctions

Professor Storch leads multiple DFG-funded projects including a Collaborative Research Center study on deep brain stimulation in transgenic Parkinson's models and an Integrated Research Training Group. He has also contributed to completed projects on reward processing in Parkinson's patients and neurodegenerative disease mechanisms.
