Rogier Min

Rogier Min is a Visiting Fellow at the Faculty of Science in the Integrative Neurophysiology department at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. His research focuses on astrocyte biology, neurological disorders such as leukodystrophies and multiple sclerosis, and their underlying mechanisms. He investigates ion and water homeostasis in white matter diseases, synaptic plasticity, and neurodevelopmental processes.

He is involved in courses like Five O’Clock Neurosciences (Honours) and Neuronal Networks and Behavior, contributing to both education and research. His work addresses topics such as astrocyte-mediated immune responses, gene therapy applications, and fear memory formation. Rogier has reviewed manuscripts for Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases (2020–2021).

Key projects include studying disturbed brain ion and water homeostasis in MLC (2018–2023), supported by the Causes and consequences of disturbed brain ion and water homeostasis in the white matter disease MLC grant. His research integrates molecular, cellular, and systems-level approaches to understand neurological diseases and synaptic function.
