Peter Ludewig

Peter Ludewig is a Professor at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), affiliated with the Department of Experimental Medicine and the Medical Faculty. His research focuses on neurovascular mechanisms, stroke pathophysiology, and advanced imaging techniques like Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI). He leads interdisciplinary projects combining experimental medicine with clinical applications, particularly in cerebral perfusion analysis and neuroinflammation.

Key areas of expertise include: stroke therapy development, immune responses in brain injury, and translational imaging technologies. His work bridges basic science and clinical practice, with contributions to understanding neutrophil dynamics, cytokine regulation (e.g., IL-17A), and novel drug delivery systems using nanobodies.

Recent studies address cerebral microvascular remodeling, nanopore sequencing for lymphoma diagnosis, and optimizing MPI tracers for real-time perfusion assessment. He collaborates across departments including Neurology, Radiology, and the Cardiovascular Research Center (CVRC).
