معرفی
An Schreurs is a Research Fellow in the Department of Neurosciences at KU Leuven, with dual affiliations at the Laboratory for Biological Psychology (Tiensestraat 102) and UZ Leuven (Herestraat 49). Her research centers on Alzheimer's disease mechanisms using transgenic mouse models, with particular focus on synaptic plasticity deficits, regional hippocampal vulnerability, and tau-amyloid interactions.
Her primary research interests include:
- Alzheimer's Disease Pathology Progression
- Dorsal-Ventral Hippocampal Vulnerability Gradients
- Tau and Amyloid-beta Molecular Interactions
- Early Cognitive and Synaptic Deficits in Neurodegeneration
- Humanized Transgenic Mouse Model Development
- Radiation-Induced Cellular Pathology Mechanisms
Analysis of her publication trends reveals consistent investigation into hippocampal synaptic dysfunction as an early biomarker in Alzheimer's, with recent work emphasizing humanized tau models and regional vulnerability patterns. Her 2023-2022 publications demonstrate expanded scope into radiation biology while maintaining core focus on neurodegenerative mechanisms.
Dr. Schreurs actively participates in the Mission Lucidity initiative at KU Leuven, which aims to decode brain diseases through interdisciplinary collaboration. She has served as primary supervisor for doctoral research on hippocampal vulnerability in Alzheimer's models, indicating active mentoring despite limited student listings in available records. Her laboratory work operates within the Laboratory for Biological Psychology infrastructure at KU Leuven.
