Our group and research
We are a research group of about 17 people focusing on dopamine biology and on diseases characterized by dysfunctional dopamine homeostasis such as parkinsonism, ADHD, and addiction. We employ a broad spectrum of techniques ranging from classical pharmacology to advanced imaging (e.g. super-resolution microscopy), mouse behaviour, chemogenetics and optogenetics (see also https://in.ku.dk/research/gether-lab/).

Project description

The project is focused on the interplay between alpha-synuclein pathology and dopamine dyshomeostasis in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Specifically, the project aims to identify early stage behavioral, cellular, and neurochemical adaptations. The project will involve viral expression techniques and stereotactic surgery on mice together with analysis of mouse behavior and fiber photometry. Other relevant methods include classical IHC, qPCR and immunoblotting as well as advanced techniques such as tissue/brain clearing (iDISCO).
