Per Borghammer

Per Borghammer is a Clinical Professor at Aarhus University's Faculty of Health, affiliated with the Department of Clinical Medicine and the Lundbeck Foundation Parkinson's Disease Research Center. His research focuses on Parkinson's disease, movement disorders, and neuroimaging techniques like PET.

• Education: MD, PhD, DMSc
• Research Highlights: α-synuclein aggregation models, cholinergic-dopaminergic interactions, FDG PET metabolic imaging, REM sleep behavior disorder phenoconversion, and sympathetic nervous system changes in Lewy pathology.
• Key Grants: Funded by the Lundbeck Foundation (DKK 1.2 million) and Riisfort Fonden (DKK 109,685) for studies on noradrenergic imaging and Parkinson's disease biomarkers.
• Technologies: Development of novel PET ligands for noradrenergic and parasympathetic nervous system imaging.

His recent work explores prodromal Parkinson's disease using animal models and investigates neuroinflammation in nigral dopaminergic neurons. Publications emphasize metabolic imaging, neurodegenerative biomarkers, and clinical trial protocols for brain tumor patients.
