PROMEMO and DANDRITE

Center for Proteins in Memory, PROMEMO, is a spin-off center of DANDRITE – The Danish Research Institute of Translational Neuroscience at Aarhus University. PROMEMO is funded by the Danish National Research Foundation.

The core group leaders of PROMEMO are all related to or directly part of DANDRITE:

• Prof. Anders Nykjaer, Director of PROMEMO, Senior Group Leader at DANDRITE
• Prof. Jelena Radulovic, Senior Group Leader at DANDRITE
• Ass. Prof. Magnus Kjaergaard, Senior Group Leader at DANDRITE
• Ass. Prof. Chao Sun, Group Leader at DANDRITE
• Assoc. Prof. Sadegh Nabavi, DANDRITE-affiliated researcher
• Prof. Poul Nissen, DANDRITE-affiliated researcher and Vice dean for research at Faculty of Natural Sciences, AU

And in addition, PROMEMO-affiliated researcher Taro Kitazawa is Group Leader at DANDRITE

The aim of PROMEMO is to identify and understand the function of memory associated proteins that determines the persistence of a memory. In a longer perspective, understanding memory-associated proteins may help identifying molecular targets for memory-associated disorders such as anxiety, depression, and dementia.
