Elise Dopper

Elise Dopper is a Researcher at Erasmus MC, Neurology, affiliated with Erasmus University Rotterdam. Her work focuses on genetic aspects of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and related disorders. She investigates genetic markers like C9orf72 and GRN, neuropsychological profiles, and diagnostic tools for early detection of neurodegenerative conditions.

Her research integrates clinical, genetic, and imaging data to improve understanding of FTD subtypes and genetic predispositions. Recent studies address personality trait changes in C9orf72-related FTD, comparative cognitive screening tools (Montreal Cognitive Assessment vs. MMSE), and MRI applications in movement disorder diagnostics.

• Key Areas: Frontotemporal Dementias, Genetic Neurology, Molecular Biomarkers
• Collaborations: International teams including UK and Italian institutions for genetic studies

Her work contributes to clinical guidelines and diagnostic accuracy in neurodegenerative disorders. One supervised PhD project is documented though specifics are not detailed.
