Johanna Knöferle is a clinical scientist and practicing neurologist at the University of Bonn, affiliated with the School of Medicine and working in the Department of Geriatric Psychiatry and Cognitive Disorders. Her research focuses on neurodegenerative diseases and their interplay with immune dysfunction.

• Neurodegenerative diseases
• Immune-nervous system interactions
• Biomarker discovery
• Molecular biology techniques

Her work leverages single-cell T cell receptor sequencing, T cell engineering, and induced pluripotent stem cell models to explore immune responses contributing to Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's syndrome, and frontotemporal dementia. She aims to identify early biomarkers and develop novel therapies.
