Markus Hofer is an Associate Professor and clinical neuropathologist at the University of Sydney, with over 15 years of experience in his field. He obtained his Medical Doctorate from Albert-Ludwigs University in Freiburg, Germany. Prior to joining the University of Sydney, he served as a senior consultant and deputy head of the Department of Neuropathology at the University Hospital Marburg, Germany. His research primarily explores the delicate balance of signaling factors that regulate inflammation in the brain and investigates the processes underlying neurodegeneration, particularly in relation to Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. His lab employs various in vivo and in vitro models, including transgenic knock-out mice and cell cultures, to study neurodegenerative disorders caused by inflammation. Hofer's research aligns with the Faculty of Science's research strengths, focusing on brain behavior cognition and understanding diseases and disorders affecting human health. He also offers research opportunities for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
