Dan Ehninger

Dan Ehninger serves as a Group Leader at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) on the Venusberg Campus of the University of Bonn, holding the academic rank of Associate Professor. His research program investigates disease mechanisms and therapeutic development for aging-associated and neuropsychiatric conditions.

His laboratory employs mouse models with multidisciplinary approaches integrating pharmacology, genetics, and molecular/cellular techniques. Key research emphases include:

• Pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders through translational mouse models
• Lifespan-regulatory pathways in aging and age-related diseases
• Transgenerational impacts of age- and environment-induced epigenetic modifications

Dr. Ehninger's work bridges preclinical findings to human applications, focusing on neurodegenerative disease mechanisms and novel treatment strategies.
