Reidun Torp

Reidun Torp is an Associate Professor in Molecular Neuroscience at the University of Oslo's Faculty of Medicine. Her research focuses on neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, with particular emphasis on cellular mechanisms and molecular pathology.

Research interests center on:

• Molecular pathology of Alzheimer's disease
• Astrocyte and microglia dysfunction in neurodegeneration
• Neurovascular pathology and amyloid deposition
• Transgenic models of neurodegenerative diseases
• Neural cell biology and protein mislocalization
• Neuroprotective strategies and disease mechanisms

Her publication trends show consistent focus on:

• Transgenic mouse models of neurodegeneration
• Cellular mechanisms of amyloid pathology
• Astrocyte and microglia dysfunction
• Neurovascular changes in dementia

Dr. Torp leads research within the Molecular Neuroscience group and collaborates extensively with neuropathologists and cellular biologists.
