ERP is delighted to announce that Dr. Marina Emborg has joined the ERP Training Faculty. Dr. Emborg is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medical Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health.
Research Focus:
My research focuses on understanding and developing treatments for neurological disorders, in particular Parkinson’s disease, in a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary fashion. We aim to create animal models and experimental paradigms that better reflect patients’ clinical conditions. We apply advanced imaging techniques to minimize invasive procedures, maximize data collection and create new clinical applications. We search for safe neuroprotective strategies that will prevent, slow down or stop death of brain cells, and use stem cells as model systems and as cell–based strategies. Our goal is to find solutions for neurodegenerative disorders and bring them to the clinic.
Please join us in welcoming Marina to ERP!
