Hagen Tilgner: A single-cell view of splicing dysregulation in frontotemporal dementia with progranulin mutations as well as Alzheimer’s disease

Hagen Tilgner is assistent professor at the Center for Neurogenetics, Brain and Mind Research Institute at the Weill Cornell Medical College. His research is concerned with how the same, within an individual mostly invariant genome, can give rise to functionally extremely diverse cell types – such as the ones that are the building blocks of the human brain. His research group has developed an array of methods providing a full-length view of RNA molecules. He wants to leverage and further develop methods to investigate the brain and its diseases.
