Martin Dichgans is a Professor of Neurology at Ludwig-Maximilians University (LMU) in Munich and the founding director of the Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research. He specializes in translational research focusing on the molecular, cellular, and physiological mechanisms underlying stroke and cerebrovascular diseases. His major emphasis is on cerebral small vessel disease and large artery atherosclerotic stroke, which are leading causes of stroke-related dementia. Prof. Dichgans employs cutting-edge single-cell, spatial, and multi-omics technologies, alongside advanced imaging techniques, to investigate genetic variations related to vascular dysfunction and brain injury. His research aims to identify new risk genes and therapeutic targets for mechanistically defined stroke subtypes. He has authored numerous publications and is actively involved in collaborative studies aimed at elucidating the mechanisms of vascular cognitive impairment, with a focus on the implications of atherosclerosis in stroke.
