Karin Danzer

Prof. Dr. Karin Danzer serves as Professor and Group Leader at the Department of Neurology, Ulm University, hosted by the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE). Her research focuses on pathomechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders with emphasis on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson's disease.

Her group investigates protein aggregation mechanisms (alpha-synuclein and TDP-43), neuroinflammatory processes, and epigenetic regulation using single-cell multiomic approaches. Key research areas include:

• Protein Aggregation and Prion-like Propagation
• Neuroinflammation
• Epigenetics and Genetics
• Biomarker Discovery
• Bioinformatics

Scientific Awards: No awards or fellowships are mentioned in the provided text.

Advising and Grants: The text contains no information regarding students, advisees, or grant funding.

Labs and Teams: Dr. Danzer leads a research group utilizing in vitro models, in vivo animal systems, and human patient materials. The team employs multiomic single-cell sequencing (mRNA and ATAC) to analyze gene expression and epigenetic alterations in neurodegenerative disease contexts.
