Lars Nilsson is a Professor at the Department of Pharmacology, University of Oslo, specializing in Alzheimer's disease and neuropharmacology. His research focuses on amyloid-β structure, neurodegeneration, and CNS pharmacology.

Key research themes include:

• Alzheimer's disease mechanisms
• Amyloid formation and processing
• Neuroinflammatory responses
• Development of amyloid-targeting therapies

Recent publications highlight studies on:

• Aβ fibril structure and gliosis reduction
• CSF biomarkers like sTREM2 and Tau
• Genetic and pharmacological modulation of amyloid accumulation
• Microglial and astrocytic interactions in transgenic mice

He teaches pharmacology and problem-based learning (PBL) to medical students at the University of Oslo.
