Christine Stadelmann(-Nessler) is a professor of neuropathology at the University Medical Center Göttingen, Germany, and director of the Institute of Neuropathology. She received her MD from Vienna Medical School, Austria, and underwent postgraduate training in the labs of Drs. Hans Lassmann and Wolfgang Brück, where she focused on neuronal cell death and inflammation in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. She is an expert on the neuropathological differential diagnosis of inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system, and her research group engages in brain banking activities. In addition to investigating the pathophysiology of myelin and neuroaxonal damage in demyelinating diseases and experimental models, her lab specializes in defining disease-relevant inflammatory signatures in neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Parkinson’s disease. Her group has also examined infection and damage to the olfactory epithelium in Covid19 cases.
