Image Description
Professor Jürgen Götz is Endowed Chair of Dementia Research and Director of the Clem Jones Centre for Ageing Dementia Research at the Queensland Brain Institute (University of Queensland). After obtaining his PhD in the laboratory of Nobel Laureate Georges Koehler, he worked in academia and industry in the US and Switzerland, before relocating to Australia in 2005. He has made fundamental contributions to understanding the mechanisms of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s dementia. Professor Götz’s discoveries around low-intensity ultrasound as a modality for treating brain diseases led to significant funding, building a clinical ready device, a completed clinical trial and a start-up company.
