The study is another example of successful international collaborations in the HD field. In this case, between Petersén’s research group at LU and research teams headed by Associate Professor Mahmoud Pouladi (at the National University of Singapore and University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada), Professor Glenda Halliday (University of Sydney, Australia), Professor Nellie Georgiou-Karistianis (Monash University, Melbourne, Australia) as well as Professor Catriona McLean (Alfred Hospital, Melbourne, Australia).
Dr. Pouladi has recently published a number of research articles showing the effects of the disease causing protein mutant huntingtin in oligodendrocytes in experimental studies in HD.
