Ann Kathrine Christiansen is a PhD student at Aarhus University focusing on the molecular mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia. Her research investigates the consequences of risk-associated sortilin variants and the functions of protein fragments generated through ectodomain shedding. Utilizing molecular, biochemical, and cellular approaches, she aims to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that drive neurodegeneration, with the ultimate goal of identifying potential therapeutic targets. Ann is currently a fellow in the Neuroscience Academy Denmark program, working in the Translational Neuropsychiatry Unit under the guidance of Heidi Kaastrup Müller. Her PhD journey, which started in 2023, is fully funded by the Lundbeck Foundation and includes rotations in various laboratories, collaborating with renowned professors in the field. She completed her Master's in Molecular Medicine at Aarhus University in 2022, establishing her expertise in neurodegeneration, sortilin, progranulin, and frontotemporal lobar degeneration.
