Jeroen van Rooij

Dr. Jeroen van Rooij is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Internal Medicine, Erasmus University Medical Center. His research focuses on genetics, molecular biology, and neurodegenerative disorders, with a particular emphasis on frontotemporal dementia (FTLD) and aging biomarkers. He collaborates internationally on projects involving whole-genome sequencing, exome sequencing, and cohort studies.

Key research areas include genetic risk factors for neurodegenerative diseases, microRNA signatures of aging, and molecular mechanisms underlying bone disorders. His work integrates clinical observations with advanced genetic analysis techniques, contributing to a deeper understanding of disease pathophysiology and potential therapeutic targets.

Recent studies highlight discoveries in FTLD-TDP pathological subtypes, survival analysis in dementia patients, and genetic variants linked to atypical femur fractures. His interdisciplinary approach bridges basic science with clinical applications, aiming to improve diagnostic tools and patient outcomes in aging populations.
