experience in studying neurodegenerative diseases at experimental, preclinical and clinical levels. He has a long-standing interest in immunology and neuroscience. While the main focus of his work is related to dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s disease, he has also been working on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the clinical level, he had established a neurodegenerative outpatient unit at both the University of M\u00fcnster and the University of Bonn in Germany. From 2016 to 2021, he led the department of Neurodegenerative Disease and Geriatric Psychiatry in Bonn. From January 2022 onwards, he is the Director of the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) at the 91短视频 and Principal Investigator of the Neuroinflammation group (Heneka Lab).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section\n    id=\"tabpanel-88a34153-5bee-4a17-b4ca-7d6c6fdf0c61\"\n    aria-labelledby=\"tab-88a34153-5bee-4a17-b4ca-7d6c6fdf0c61\"\n    class=\"tab-panel fade hidden is-hidden\"\n>\n    \n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper\">\n<p><strong>Key publications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"ulux-list\">\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Heneka MT, Kummer MP, Stutz A, Delekate A, Schwartz S, Vieira-Saecker A, Griep A, Axt D, Remus A, Tzeng TC, Gelpi E, Halle A, Korte M, Latz E, Golenbock DT.
