Markus Glatzel

Prof. Dr. med. Markus Glatzel is a leading researcher in neuropathology at the Institute of Neuropathology, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). His work spans neurodegeneration, prion diseases, Alzheimer's pathology, and brain tumor translational research. He actively investigates extracellular vesicles, ADAM10-mediated protein shedding, and neuroimmune interactions in conditions like COVID-19 and multiple sclerosis.

• Current Research Projects: Prion protein proteolysis, familial Alzheimer's pathophysiology, exosome-based glioma therapies, ADAM10 shedding in neurodegeneration

His recent publications highlight neuroimmunological mechanisms in brain tumors and COVID-19, tauopathy staging in anti-IgLON5 disease, and molecular subtyping of gliomas. Collaborative work spans Germany, Spain, and international institutions.

Key Methodologies:

• Spatial immune mapping
• Extracellular vesicle isolation
• Transgenic mouse models
• Autopsy-based research
