Andreu Matamoros Angles

Andreu Matamoros Angles is a Research Fellow at the University of Hamburg's Faculty of Medicine, affiliated with the Institute of Neuropathology within the Center for Diagnostics. His research focuses on neurodegenerative diseases, particularly prion protein biology, extracellular vesicles, and Alzheimer's disease mechanisms. He develops novel imaging technologies and therapeutic strategies for neuroprotection and regeneration. Key contributions include studies on prion protein shedding mechanisms, ADAM10-mediated proteolysis, and EV roles in neurodegenerative pathophysiology.

His work bridges molecular neuroscience with translational medicine, employing advanced microscopy techniques and genetically modified animal models. Recent projects investigate EV-based biomarkers and regenerative platforms using engineered biomaterials. He collaborates internationally on standardizing extracellular vesicle research (MISEV2023 guidelines) and exploring protein misfolding interventions.
