Per Borghammer is a senior research consultant and associate professor of Nuclear Medicine, Medical Faculty of Aarhus University. He specializes in clinical diagnostics of brain disorders, in particular neurodegenerative diseases.
Dr. Borghammer’s research involves understanding the early and prodromal phase of Parkinson’s disease (PD) through a multidisciplinary approach, which includes PET and MRI imaging of patient cohorts, epidemiology, histology, and experimental animal studies. The major focus of his research is to address important questions in PD pathogenesis, especially the prion-like spreading of alpha-synuclein and whether PD in some cases is initiated in the peripheral autonomic nervous system. His research is funded by grants from the Danish Research Council and the Lundbeck Foundation.
