Seminars in Health Sciences: Perivascular compartment in health and disease

A warm welcome to Seminars in Health Sciences on Thursday 16 October, 2025 at 14:00 in Auditorio 1, building M, Kuopio University Hospital or online. 

Topic: Perivascular compartment in health and disease
Speaker: Roxanna Carare, Professor of Clinical Neuroanatomy

Roxana Carare qualified in Medicine in Bucharest in 1994. During her basic clinical training, she became fascinated by anatomy and completed her PhD in neuropathology in 2006, in the University of Southampton, UK. The main international recognition for Roxana Carare has come from the interdisciplinary research she leads, relevant to the causes and new treatments for Alzheimer's disease, with over 165 peer reviewed publications in the field. She led the discovery of the intramural periarterial drainage system for proteins and fluid from the brain that fails in ageing leading to Alzheimer’s disease and her group now focusses on harnessing this system for efficient therapies and early biomarkers for age related neurodegenerative diseases.
