Marianne Schultzberg is professor in clinical neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet (KI) since 2005 and has served as pro-dean for doctoral education at KI since 2012. She received her doctoral degree in 1980, performed a postdoc in England and has been a visiting scientist at NIMH, USA. Her research concerns the role of neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and combines cellular and animal experimental models in a translational approach based on in vivo and in vitro models in close association with the geriatric clinic at Karolinska University Hospital, with the goal to find new treatments strategies. The resolution of inflammation in the brain is her current research focus. Inflammation is the response of the organism to cope with various types of harmful stimuli, and normally ends when the stimulus is removed and homeostasis of the tissue is restored. This process, resolution, involves clearance of tissue debris, down-regulation of pro-inflammatory factors and stimulation of regeneration of the tissue.
