Laura E. Wisse

Laura Wisse is an associate professor at Lund University, Sweden. She obtained her PhD from Utrecht University, the Netherlands, in 2014, after which she did a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research centers on aging and neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease, where she aims to gain a better understanding of underlying disease mechanisms and contribute to the development of better biomarkers. A large part of her work is focused on the medial temporal lobe (MTL) because it is a hotspot for neurodegenerative pathologies, where she is deeply invested in the development of methods to more accurately measure MTL subregions. She is also member of the international Hippocampal Subfields Group, the chair of the profile area on proactive aging at Lund university and member of the European Meeting on Imaging of Neurodegenerative Diseases.
