Erik Roberson

Kissick Family Foundation FTD Science Advisory Board Member
Erik Roberson, MD, PhD, is a physician-scientist with a focus on age-related neurodegenerative diseases. The Roberson lab studies the neurobiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), with a focus on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of these disorders and identifying new therapeutic strategies. Focus areas include tau and its binding partners in neuronal dysfunction in AD, the mechanisms by which genetic risk factors drive AD, and how progranulin deficiency causes FTD.

Romke Rouw

Misophonia Research Fund Scientific Advisory Board Member
Dr. Romke Rouw is a faculty member at the University of Amsterdam. Her lab employs a broad range of techniques (e.g., in-lab behavioral experiments, large online studies, psychophysics, and various neuroimaging techniques) to unravel the connection between highly subjective sensations and behavioral and neurological mechanisms. Rouw regularly presents to non-academic audiences which is both fun and allows her to raise public awareness for unusual responses to stimuli as part of a 'normal' condition.
