Willem De Haan PhD

Willem de Haan in 2012, I defended my PhD thesis about functional brain network analysis in Alzheimer’s Disease. The main goal of my research is to better understand the relation between brain activity and dementia. In the past years, I have focused on computational network modeling of AD. This approach may help to understand both the cause and course of the disease, and guide treatment selection by solving how to modulate abnormal brain activity in order to optimize network function. In 2018, I will combine my research efforts with work as a cognitive neurologist for the VUmc Alzheimer Center.
