Henrik Zetterberg is affiliated with the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. Their research primarily focuses on medicine, with an emphasis on physiology, neurology, psychiatry and mental health, molecular biology, and cellular and molecular neuroscience. The scientist's work contributes to several areas including Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, dementia and cognitive impairment research, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms, traumatic brain injury and neurovascular disturbances, advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research, and Parkinson's disease mechanisms and treatments.

Zetterberg has an extensive record of publications, with frequent contributions to journals such as Alzheimer s & Dementia, Alzheimer s Research & Therapy, Brain, Brain Communications, and Alzheimer s & Dementia Diagnosis Assessment & Disease Monitoring.

Notable recent papers by Henrik Zetterberg include the following:

  • Discriminative Accuracy of Plasma Phospho-tau217 for Alzheimer Disease vs Other Neurodegenerative Disorders (2020, JAMA)
  • Hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases (2023, Cell)
  • Blood phosphorylated tau 181 as a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease: a diagnostic performance and prediction modelling study using data from four prospective cohorts (2020, The Lancet Neurology)
  • Plasma P-tau181 in Alzheimer's disease: relationship to other biomarkers, differential diagnosis, neuropathology and longitudinal progression to Alzheimer's dementia (2020, Nature Medicine)
  • A genome-wide association study with 1,126,563 individuals identifies new risk loci for Alzheimer's disease (2021, Nature Genetics)

The scientist frequently collaborates with several coauthors, including Kaj Blennow, Nicholas J. Ashton, Thomas K. Karikari, Oskar Hansson, and Amanda Heslegrave.
