Welcome to the Team – Marc Busche Lab!
Professor Dr. Marc Aurel Busche has been appointed Clinical Professor of Dementia at the Medical Faculty of the University of Basel, Head of the Memory Clinic and Geriatric Psychiatry Department at the Felix Platter University Hospital, and Research Group Leader of the Brain Ageing and Neurodegeneration Laboratory at the DBM.
His research focuses on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related neurodegenerative disorders, with the goal of uncovering how AD begins, how it progresses, and how its pathology disrupts the brain circuits that underlie memory and cognition. These circuit alterations appear before neurons are lost, offering a critical window to intervene and prevent memory and cognitive decline.
By reframing Alzheimer’s as a disorder of brain circuits, his work opens promising new paths for earlier diagnosis and circuit-based treatments. We are excited to have Prof. Busche and his team join the DBM and look forward to the collaborations and discoveries ahead.
