Katerina Gospodinova
Team Leader- Neuroinflammation
Katerina received her PhD in Genomics and Experimental Medicine from The University of Edinburgh. She joined the University of Oxford in 2021 as a post-doctoral researcher within the TREAT-AD consortium, where she was involved in the design, development and dissemination of molecular and cellular tools for validating novel, next generation therapeutic targets in Alzheimer's disease. She has generated several Target Enabling Packages and developed in vitro assay platforms for high-throughput target validation in hiPSC-derived and immortalized cell lines.
Katerina joined the Alzheimer's Research UK Oxford Drug Discovery Institute as a Team Leader of the Neuroinflammation group in 2022. Her research focuses on identifying and de-risking neuroimmune and matrisome-associated targets and pathways as potential therapeutic strategies in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
