Jonas Neher

Prof. Dr. Jonas Neher is a faculty member at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) and a full member of the Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences (GSN). He leads a research group at the Biomedical Center (BMC) and is affiliated with the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) in Munich. His primary affiliation is with the Department of Metabolic Biochemistry.

His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying brain aging and Alzheimer's disease. Key interests include:

• The role of vascular amyloid, particularly medin, in neurodegeneration
• Innate immune responses in the brain
• Vascular dysfunction in aging and dementia
• Neuroinflammation and its contribution to Alzheimer's pathogenesis

His lab employs a multidisciplinary approach combining:

• Single-cell RNA sequencing
• Biochemical assays
• Histological analysis
• In vivo imaging techniques

The available publications (not listed in text) likely reflect a strong emphasis on molecular neuroscience, neuroimmunology, and age-related neurological disorders, with recurring themes in vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disease mechanisms.

He has supervised several PhD students through the GSN program, including Nina Hermann and Marleen Veit. While no specific grants or funding sources are mentioned, his position and lab activities suggest active involvement in research funding and academic mentorship.
