Louise Piilgaard is a postdoctoral researcher at reNEW (University of Copenhagen, Denmark), where she focuses on developing stem cell-based models to study neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson’s disease, TDP-43 proteinopathies, dementia, and evaluate innovative therapeutic strategies. She earned my PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Copenhagen, where she investigated the pathophysiology of narcolepsy using rodent models and advanced neurophysiological techniques. Her work spans translational neuroscience, integrating in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro approaches to bridge fundamental research and clinical application with a strong commitment to advancing treatments for patients with neurological disorders.
