Ozgun Gokce

Prof. Dr. Ozgun Gokce is a Professor affiliated with the Department of Neurodegenerative Diseases and Geriatric Psychiatry at the University Hospital Bonn, part of the University of Bonn. Her research focuses on understanding fundamental mechanisms of nervous system function in health and disease, with a particular emphasis on aging-related neurodegeneration and immunological pathways. She integrates experimental and computational approaches to develop strategies for maintaining brain health.

Research interests include transcriptomics, neuron biology, and immunology, leveraging cutting-edge technologies like spatial transcriptomics and electron microscopy. Her work bridges basic science and translational research, addressing how aging impacts white matter and microglial diversity. Notable contributions include studies on CD8+ T cell interactions in aging white matter and neurexin-driven synapse formation mechanisms.

Prof. Gokce is part of the Transdisciplinary Research Area (TRA) 'Life and Health' at the University of Bonn, reflecting her commitment to interdisciplinary research. While no awards or specific grants are explicitly listed, her publications highlight collaborative projects with institutions like the University Hospital Bonn and international teams.
