About
Magnus Schou is an Adjunct Professor of Medical Radiochemistry at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet. His work focuses on molecular brain imaging of neurodegenerative disorders within the Andrea Varrone's research group.
- Current position: Adjunct Professor (2022-2026)
- Education: Ph.D. (2006), Docent (2020) in Clinical Neuroscience
Research Interests: Magnus Schou specializes in PET radioligand development for neurodegenerative diseases. His work involves:
- Designing novel PET tracers for serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine transporters
- Optimizing radiolabeling techniques using carbon-11 and fluorine-18
- Evaluating radioligands in non-human primates and humans
- Investigating brain exposure of CNS drugs
Article Trends: His recent publications emphasize innovations in PET radioligand synthesis, including transition-metal-free labeling methods, microfluidic radiosynthesis, and imaging of neurodegenerative pathology (amyloid-β, alpha-synuclein). Key areas include neuropharmacology, isotope chemistry, and clinical validation.
