Charlotte Teunissen

Charlotte Teunissen (full professor in Neurochemistry) aims to improve care of patients with neurological diseases by developing body fluid biomarkers for diagnosis, stratification, prognosis and monitoring treatment responses. Studies of her research group span the entire spectrum of biomarker development, starting with biomarker identification, followed by assay development and validation, and extensive clinical validation to ultimately implement novel biomarkers in clinical practice. She is responsible for the Alzheimer Center Amsterdam biobank and leads several international biomarker networks, such as the Society for Neurochemistry and Clinical CSF Analysis, the Alzheimer Association-Global Biomarker Standardization consortium, and the Coral proteomics consortium.
