About Dr Axel Montagne
Dr Montagne previously worked with the University of Southern California, where he worked closely with Professor Berislav Zlokovic, as part of the Fondation Leducq Transatlantic Network of Research Excellence. Dr Montagne has recently joined The University of Edinburgh UK Dementia Research Institute, where he established the MontagneLab.
His scientific work aims to understand how, when, and where endothelial cells and pericytes lining the blood-brain barrier become dysfunctional in the early stages of age-related cognitive decline using cutting-edge brain imaging technology. The MontagneLab ultimate goal is to develop precise treatments targeting brain vasculature to protect brain functions.
