Schwerpunkte
Die Arbeitsgruppe betreut und studiert Patienten mit degenerativen Krankheiten des Gehirns, insbesondere Neuronale Ceroid-Lipofuszinosen (NCL-Krankheiten) multidisziplinär in enger Zusammenarbeit mit weiteren Kliniken des UKE. Unser Ziel ist die genaue Diagnostik solcher Krankheiten, die palliativ-medizinische Betreuung zur Verbesserung der Lebensqualität betroffener Patienten und ihrer Familien sowie die Entwicklung, Durchführung und Beurteilung neuer Therapien. Wir stehen in enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem Arbeitsbereich Molekularbiologie der Klinik[AS1] , wo eine Reihe von Forschungsprojekten Ursache und Mechanismus der NCL-Krankheiten untersuchen. Desweiteren bieten wir Hilfestellung bei der Diagnostik unklarer degenerativer Gehirnkrankheiten an.
