Christina Jensen-Dahm
Christina's major research focus is epidemiological studies based on registry data. Current research focuses on medication use (risk associated with analgesics and risk of dementia with use of medication), early onset Alzheimer’s disease and influenza vaccination.
Rebecca Thea Kjærgaard Hendel
Rebecca is involved in a research project that examines the association between impaired hearing and memory functions (The Link Project). As impaired hearing is a major risk factor for dementia, this project seeks to examine the association more thoroughly in a Danish cohort.
The project is a collaboration between the Danish Dementia Research Centre and Copenhagen Hearing and Balance Center on Rigshospitalet.
Janet Janbek
Janet's research focus on the role of infections in dementia (Project IDEM). The project will investigate infections in dementia care as well as the role of infections as risk factors. The project sets out to understand what is involved in infection detection and management in people with dementia.
Tua Vinther-Jensen
Major research focus is phenogenotyping in neurogenetic disease. Current research focuses on ataxia and how currently patients are diagnosed and the clinical workup is done.
Anders Toft
Anders conducts research on fluid biomarkers and stem cell-derived cellular models in the context of hereditary frontotemporal dementia. The aim is to identify central disease mechanisms, with a specific focus on the role of the immune system in the neurdegenerative process.
