معرفی
Prof. Dr. med. Jan Kassubek serves as Vice Chairman and Head of the Neurophysiology section at the Department of Neurology, University of Ulm, Germany. He concurrently leads the Outpatient Clinic for Movement Disorders and the Neuroimaging Group, while co-chairing the Core Facility 3T MRI for Neuroscientific Research.
His research focuses on neurodegenerative disorders including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, and dementia syndromes. He specializes in advanced neuroimaging techniques like diffusion tensor imaging and quantitative susceptibility mapping to develop diagnostic biomarkers and investigate disease mechanisms. His work integrates genetic analysis (e.g., Fabry disease-Parkinson's links) and pharmacological interventions (e.g., rasagiline for ALS).
Recent publications (2023-2024) demonstrate heavy emphasis on MRI-based differential diagnosis of movement disorders, machine learning applications for ALS biomarker development, and genetic/pharmacological studies in neurodegeneration. Key trends include quantitative imaging for disease progression tracking and repurposing Parkinson's drugs for ALS treatment.
