Charlotte Braatz is a 5th year medical student at the University of Bonn, Germany. She is especially interested in the neuroinflammatory pathways triggered in Alzheimer’s disease and possibilities of inhibition. She joined the lab of Prof. Heneka in October 2020 for her MD thesis project. It focuses on the inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome as a key driver of the pathogenesis and progression of Alzheimer’s disease. She will investigate the effects of NLRP3 directed expression modulating agents in an in vitro model with THP-1 cells and primary murine microglia.
