Meet our scientist Gesine Paul-Visse to learn what happens at the interface where the brain and the body meet: the blood-brain barrier. Here, a very specialized cell, the pericyte, protects the brain and responds strongly to disease.

Gesine Paul-Visse leads Translational Neurology, one of MultiPark’s research groups. As both a neurologist and a researcher, she has focused on neurodegeneration for most of her career.

By studying stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and glioblastoma, her team approaches brain research from multiple angles. In addition, she serves as the senior neurologist for the STEM-PD trial in Lund, a promising therapy for Parkinson’s disease. She discusses this and much more in the 18th episode of the Meet Our Scientists podcast.
