Overview

Johannes Attems is affiliated with Newcastle University in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily spans the fields of Medicine and Neuroscience, with a strong focus on Neurology, Physiology, Psychiatry and Mental Health, Molecular Biology, and Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience. The main topics of their work include Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, Parkinson's disease mechanisms and treatments, dementia and cognitive impairment research, neurological diseases and metabolism, neurological disorders and treatments, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms, and nuclear receptors and signaling.

Attems has contributed to numerous scientific publications and is frequently published in venues such as:

  • Alzheimer s & Dementia
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Acta Neuropathologica
  • Acta Neuropathologica Communications
  • Brain

Among their recent papers are:

  • Neuropathological consensus criteria for the evaluation of Lewy pathology in post-mortem brains: a multi-centre study (2021, published in Acta Neuropathologica)

Other notable recent publications where Attems is a co-author include research addressing Alzheimer's disease, α-synuclein phosphorylation, and neuropathologic staging, although these do not list Attems as the primary author.

Frequent collaborators include:

  • Alan Thomas
  • Daniel Erskine
  • Lauren Walker
  • Kirsty E. McAleese
  • Dennis W. Dickson

The scientist's research integrates neuropathology and molecular biology techniques aimed at understanding neurodegenerative diseases, especially Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Their work has contributed to the establishment of consensus criteria and staging methods for neuropathologic evaluation, as demonstrated in their publication record.
