Poul Henning Jensen

Poul Henning Jensen is a full Professor at Aarhus University, affiliated with both the Department of Biomedicine (Skou-building) and the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (Neurobiology section).

Research Interests:

• Neurobiology of synucleinopathies
• Molecular mechanisms in Parkinson's disease
• Protein aggregation and propagation
• Calcium signaling in neurodegeneration
• Neuroinflammatory responses

Scientific Activities: His work focuses on α-synuclein biology, covering structural analysis, aggregation pathways, and their pathological consequences. Recent studies include

• novel detection methods for early α-synuclein pathology
• mechanisms of neurotoxicity
• sex-specific neuroprotective factors
• and protein interaction networks in disease models

.

Scientific Awards:

• Recipient of at least one significant research prize

Collaborations: Works with international teams on clinical trials targeting α-synuclein and coordinates multiple studies on neurodegenerative disease mechanisms.
