Berta Puig Martorell

Berta Puig Martorell is a researcher at the Clinic and Polyclinic for Neurology at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). Her work focuses on extracellular vesicles (EVs) in neurological contexts, particularly their role in intercellular communication and disease mechanisms.

• Specializes in EV biology and neurodegenerative diseases
• Investigates EVs as biomarkers and therapeutic tools in stroke
• Utilizes molecular biology and transgenic mouse models

Her research integrates protein biochemistry, neuropathology, and cell culture systems to study EVs' involvement in conditions like Alzheimer's, prion diseases, and cerebral ischemia. Recent publications analyze EV cargo in stroke recovery and prion protein dynamics.

Key scientific collaborations include work with M. Glatzel and T. Magnus across neurology and molecular medicine departments. Techniques span confocal microscopy, qPCR, and immunoprecipitation to dissect EV uptake and signaling.
