Changsi Cai

Changsi Cai is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen, where he leads the Cai Lab focused on neurovascular research. His work bridges neural signaling, vascular biology, and neuroengineering.

Research Focus: Dr. Cai investigates neurovascular coupling mechanisms with emphasis on aging and neurodegeneration. His lab studies:

• Calcium dynamics in vascular mural cells
• Pericyte physiology in capillary regulation
• Magnetic neuromodulation technologies for neurological disorders
• Sex differences in Alzheimer's pathophysiology
• Real-time neurovascular imaging techniques

Publication Trends: Recent work (2021-2025) shows consistent focus on: 1) Age-related decline in neurovascular function, 2) Advanced micro-coil neuromodulation systems, 3) Cellular mechanisms of brain capillary perfusion, and 4) Validation of novel Alzheimer's disease models.

Laboratory: The Cai Lab develops cutting-edge methods for studying neurovascular interactions, including MEMS-based devices and in vivo imaging platforms.
