معرفی
Sergi Llambrich Ferré is a Research Fellow at the KU Leuven associated with the Biomedical MRI unit and KU Leuven Brain Institute (LBI). His research focuses on Down syndrome pathophysiology and pharmacologic modulation using mouse models.
- Current affiliation: Biomedical MRI unit at KU Leuven
- Research institute: KU Leuven Brain Institute (LBI)
Research Interests:
His work integrates neurodevelopmental, skeletal, and cardiopulmonary systems in Down syndrome models, emphasizing multimodal in vivo imaging and green tea catechins (particularly EGCG) as therapeutic agents. He investigates facial biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease and sleep apnea in Down syndrome contexts.
Publication Trends:
Recent articles focus on pleiotropic effects of trisomy, EGCG-mediated modulation, and multisystem integration in Down syndrome mouse models. Topics include neuroimaging, skeletal development, and immune-cardiopulmonary alterations, with methodologies spanning bioRxiv preprints to peer-reviewed journals like eLife and Scientific Reports.
Collaborations:
Works with Prof. Greet Vande Velde (supervisor), Prof. Neus Martínez-Abadías (co-supervisor), and international teams on Down syndrome research, combining genetic, structural, and functional analyses.
