Louise Saviø Piilgaard

Louise Saviø Piilgaard is a Guest Researcher in the Neuronal Signalling research group within the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. Her research is conducted at the Blegdamsvej 3 campus in Copenhagen.

Dr. Piilgaard's research focuses on the intersection of sleep medicine, electrophysiology, and neurological disorders, with particular expertise in narcolepsy research. Her work heavily utilizes mouse models to investigate sleep-wake dynamics, EEG patterns, and neurological mechanisms underlying sleep disorders. She has made significant contributions to understanding narcolepsy type 1 through innovative approaches to EEG and EMG data analysis, as well as developing non-invasive monitoring techniques for disease progression.

Analysis of her publication record from 2019-2025 reveals a strong focus on narcolepsy research, particularly using mouse models to investigate disease mechanisms. Her work spans multiple approaches including electrophysiological analysis, behavioral monitoring, and pharmacological investigations. A notable trend is her progression from basic receptor pharmacology studies toward more complex disease modeling and machine learning applications for disease prediction.

Dr. Piilgaard has established productive collaborations with researchers across multiple institutions, as evidenced by her co-authorship on publications with diverse research teams. Her work has received attention across academic platforms, with multiple publications highlighted on social media and research-sharing sites.
