The people behind the work

Meet the lab one person at a time: a portrait, a role, and one sentence in each person's own words — what they are trying to find out, or what their time in the lab has been like.

Portrait of Anne M. Landau

01 Principal investigator

Anne M. Landau

Associate Professor

Translational Neuropsychiatry Unit · Department of Clinical Medicine · Aarhus University

In her words

“I use molecular neuroimaging to understand brain mechanisms, develop and validate new imaging tools, and investigate how treatments affect the brain, connecting preclinical findings with patient-relevant questions.”

Anne leads the lab's work in translational molecular neuroimaging: how brain disorders and treatments affect molecular signalling and brain function, with a particular focus on Parkinson's disease and depression.

Researchers, students and staff

Everyone in the lab now: a portrait and one sentence in each person's own words. The tags lead to the research pages for each theme.

  • Portrait of Arezou Fathalizadeh Alamdari

    Arezou Fathalizadeh Alamdari

    MD, PhD student

    “I am trying to understand how changes at the receptor level affect brain structure, function, and behavior across the lifespan, and how these changes translate into clinically relevant outcomes and inform the timing, safety, and effectiveness of potential treatments.”

  • Portrait of Frederik Gudmundsen

    Frederik Gudmundsen

    Postdoc

    “My research is focused on advancing our understanding of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders by leveraging PET imaging, pharmacology and animal models, to guide the development of safe and effective treatment approaches.”

  • Portrait of Elisa Mazzoleni

    Elisa Mazzoleni

    Master’s Research Student

    “As a master’s student, I’m studying how changes in GPR6 affect brain function and behavior using autoradiography and behavioral studies, and how these findings may contribute to our understanding of depression and the development of new therapeutic approaches.”

  • Portrait of Joe Christensen

    Joe Christensen

    Master’s Research Student

    “I’ve always been fascinated by human experience: its questions, its breaking points, its beautiful highs. As part of the Landau Lab, I’ve been fortunate to collaborate on projects from ketamine to schizophrenia to GPR6. That’s one of my favorite parts of our lab, the rich community of researchers you get introduced to at TNU and beyond.”

  • Portrait of Miriam Fiorino

    Miriam Fiorino

    Research Student

    “With a strong interest in neuroscience, I explored the role of GPR6 in animal models through neuroimaging techniques, aiming to better understand its involvement in brain function and its potential implications for neuropsychiatric conditions, such as depression.”

  • Portrait of Julia Carstensen

    Julia Carstensen

    Bachelor’s Project Student

    “With a background in cognitive science and a growing interest in neuroscience, I’m studying how the GPR6 receptor is involved in brain function, using autoradiography in an animal model of depression, aiming to better understand its potential role in new treatments for depression.”

“What are you trying to find out?”

  • One portrait: a phone is fine — window light, plain background, shoulders up.
  • One sentence in their own words, under about 25 words.
  • Name and role as they want them shown, and one line confirming consent.
