Charlotte Teunissen PhD

Charlotte Teunissen (full professor in Neurochemistry) aims to improve the care of patients with neurological diseases by developing body fluid biomarkers for diagnosis, stratification, prognosis, and monitoring treatment responses. Studies of her research group span the entire spectrum of biomarker development, starting with biomarker identification, followed by assay development and validation, and extensive clinical validation to ultimately implement novel biomarkers in clinical practice.

Teunissen is responsible for the Alzheimer Center Amsterdam body fluid and leads several international biomarker networks, such as the CSF Society the Alzheimer Association-Global Biomarker Standardization consortium, and the recently founded Coral Proteomics consortium. She is the coordinator of the Marie Curie MIRIADE project, aiming to train 15 novel researchers to accelerate dementia biomarker development.
