Frederik Vilhardt is an Associate Professor affiliated with the Morphogenesis Differentiation Program at the University of Copenhagen. His research primarily focuses on the intricacies of NADPH oxidase (NOX2) trafficking in macrophages and microglia, as well as the implications of autophagy and endosomal pathways in neurodegenerative conditions. He investigates the roles of brain-associated macrophages and microglia in neuroinflammation, particularly in collaboration with the Neurosurgical Department at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen to explore the involvement of tumor-associated macrophages in meningioma progression and post-operative morbidity. His current projects include studying the trafficking functions of NADPH oxidase in macrophages and the role of ESCRT complexes in frontotemporal dementia and spastic paraplegia. Vilhardt has published various papers on these subjects and is actively funded by multiple research foundations. He has also contributed to teaching Cell Biology and Histology at the university, supervising Erasmus graduate students in his lab.
