Robert Perneczky

Robert is a Professor and Head of the Old Age Psychiatry department at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich. He leads several extensive dementia studies and initiatives in Germany and the UK.

Robert conducts dementia prevention research at the University of Munich, the German Center for Neurodegenerative Disorders, and Imperial College London. His studies apply various methodologies to advance the understanding of biological and clinical processes that lead to cognitive decline and associated disability. This includes imaging, fluid biomarker, genomics and cognitive assessments in clinical and epidemiological contexts. The concept of cognitive reserve has always been in the center of Robert’s scientific activities, because of its great relevance in reducing dementia risk in the population and strengthening vulnerable individuals’ resilience against neurodegeneration.
