Katrine Sjaastad Hanssen
Om
Jeg jobber som forsker i Sandvig-gruppen for Integrativ Nevrovitenskap ved Institutt for Nevromedisin og Bevegelsesvitenskap, NTNU. I min doktorgrad har jeg jobbet med integrering av avanserte nevrale nettverksmodeller for å studere Alzheimer sykdom på et tidlig sykdomsstadie. I min nåværende forskersstilling jobber jeg med både grunnforskning og klinisk forskning innenfor fagfeltet Alzheimer sykdom.
Forskningsfokus:
1) Inflammatorisk respons og patologi i tidlige sykdomsstadier av Alzheimer.
2) Kritiske tidspunkt hvor strukturelle og funksjonelle endringer i Alzheimer-nettverk oppstår.
Klinisk forskning:
1) Bedre forstå de ulike stadiene av Alzheimer demens og deres sammenheng med svekket semantisk hukommelse.
Mer om vår arbeid med MemAD-studien kan du finne her: MemAD-studien - Forskning i kampen mot Alzheimer sykdom.
Metoder:
Hovedmetoder og verktøy jeg bruker i min forskning innebærer nevrale nettverksmodeller med pasientspesifikke celler fra pasienter med Alzheimer og friske kontroller, elektrofysiologi, immunocytokjemi, MR-skanning, EEG-undersøkelser og kognitiv testing.
Forskningsformidling:
Ved siden av labarbeid, artikkelskriving og undervisning har jeg en stor lidenskap for forskningsformidling om demens og Alzheimer ut til befolkningen. Jeg har tidligere holdt foredrag til pasienter og pårørende ved fagforeninger, på en teaterfestival, ved ressurssenter for demens og til lokale demensforeninger bl.a,.
