Her project is a longitudinal cohort study of clinical manifestations in Huntington's disease gene expansion carriers in parallel with changes in CSF biomarkers, blood based biomarkers and the permeability of the blood brain barrier.

Her project investigates the diagnostic accuracy and integration of blood-based biomarkers in the diagnostic evaluation of various dementia disorders.

His project focuses on decision support in cases of moderate to severe dementia in primary care. Using cognitive tests, questionnaires, blood-based biomarkers and a short physical examination, the project aims to distinguish between Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, mixed dementia, and other causes.

Her project investigates the possibilities of digital technologies such as speech analysis and digital cognitive tests, and the added value of blood based biomarkers, for detection of early symptoms of cognitive decline.

Her project aims to investigate how small vesicles secreted by brain cells are changed in FTD-3 and AD, using clinical samples and patient-derived brain cells. She will investigate if these vesicles can be responsible for disease progression and if infections have an impact on the cellular vesicles.
 

Her project aims to ultimately improve the quality of life for family caregivers by identifying health issues linked to caregiving, validating measures of carer-related quality of life, and assessing the effects of the Danish DemTool intervention trial.

Her PhD project investigates some of the under-researched aspects of neuropsychological symptoms, including emotion regulation, apathy, and memory processes, in Huntington’s disease gene-mutation carriers.
