Research Assistant at Aarhus University
Aarhus, Central Denmark Region, Denmark
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSigne Mikkelsen is a neuroscientist and research assistant with nine years of experience studying age-related hippocampal dysfunction, recently completing a PhD at Aarhus University's CFIN. Her work combines advanced in vivo optical imaging—two-photon microscopy and laser speckle contrast imaging—with behavioral assays and flow cytometry to link capillary dysfunction, oxygenation, and immune interactions to cognitive decline. She has published methodological advances for imaging the awake mouse hippocampus and built protocols for sequential MRI and optical imaging that facilitate multi-modal studies. Comfortable at the intersection of neurophysics and translational aging research, she brings both hands-on experimental skill and rigorous quantitative training in image analysis and statistics. An often-overlooked strength is her experience designing cranial windows that enable repeated longitudinal imaging, strengthening studies of progressive vascular changes.
