Lieke Meeter

Lieke Meeter is a Researcher in the Department of Neurology at Erasmus MC, specializing in frontotemporal dementia research. Her work focuses on identifying biomarkers and understanding the genetic underpinnings of neurodegenerative diseases.

Dr. Meeter's research interests include:

• Frontotemporal Dementia
• Genetics of neurodegenerative diseases
• C9orf72 gene research
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging applications
• Blood Plasma biomarker discovery
• Granulin and progranulin research
• Frontal Variant Frontotemporal Dementia
• Proteome analysis for diagnostic purposes

Her recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on identifying biomarkers for frontotemporal dementia through CSF proteome profiling, genetic studies, and longitudinal analysis of neurofilament light chain. Her research particularly emphasizes the connection between genetic risk factors and measurable biological changes that could lead to improved diagnostic accuracy and understanding of disease mechanisms. The work spans from fundamental genetic research to clinical applications, with several studies published in high-impact journals like Molecular Neurodegeneration, Brain, and Neurology.

Dr. Meeter has collaborated extensively with international researchers across multiple institutions, as evidenced by her co-authorship on numerous high-impact publications. Her research has gained attention in scientific circles, with multiple publications picked up by news outlets and shared across social media platforms including X, Bluesky, and Facebook.
