University of Luxembourg

Jens is a Professor at the University of Luxembourg / Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) and expert in human iPSC-based disease modeling, with a particular focus on Parkinson’s disease and neurodegenerative disorders. He has pioneered the development of human midbrain organoids, assembloids, and chimeroids that incorporate neuronal and glial components to study complex, human-specific disease mechanisms, and his work integrates stem cell biology, neurobiology, and single-cell technologies to bridge fundamental discovery with translational neuroscience.
