Antje Bischof MD

Dr. Antje Bischof is a postdoctoral research scholar in the Department of Neurology at UCSF. She is a Swiss board-certified neurologist with a subspecialty interest in neuroimaging. She earned her medical degree at the University of Würzburg, Germany, and completed her residency in neurology at the University Hospital Basel, Switzerland, where she specialized in neuroimmunology.

She holds a long-standing interest in the development of biomarkers to adequately monitor and predict changes relevant to the evolution of neurological diseases including multiple sclerosis and vasculitic neuropathy. With her work, she aims to expand our understanding of the mechanisms underlying neuronal damage and disability accumulation to uncover disease processes that may be modifiable early in the disease course through therapeutic interventions. During her fellowship at UCSF, she has been working on identifying MRI metrics to predict and monitor the evolution of progressive MS by using conventional and advanced neuroimaging techniques that can be implemented in the clinical setting.
