Oliver Riedel

Oliver Riedel is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, Technische Universität Dresden, where he has held the position since January 2005. His research focuses on neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, with an emphasis on neuropsychiatric disorders, epidemiology, and health service research. He earned his doctoral degree in 2009 from TU Dresden under Prof. Dr. H.-U. Wittchen, following a Diploma in Psychology from the same institution (1999–2004).

His work includes large-scale epidemiological studies on neuropsychiatric symptoms in Parkinson’s disease, such as depression and cognitive impairment, as well as studies on dementia comorbidity. Notable collaborations involve the German Study on Epidemiology of Parkinson’s Disease with Dementia (GEPAD). His research also extends to allergic asthma epidemiology through the SAP-NEEDs programme.

Riedel has published extensively in journals like Parkinsonism and Related Disorders, Journal of Neurology, and Allergy, focusing on clinical outcomes, patient care dependency, and treatment patterns. His contributions bridge clinical psychology, neurology, and public health.

While no formal awards are listed, his publications reflect sustained engagement with high-impact clinical research. He has been involved in interdisciplinary teams and workgroups, such as the Neuropsychology Workgroup at TU Dresden.
