Dr. Burkhard Poeggeler is affiliated with the Georg-August-University Göttingen and works primarily on the biochemistry and pharmacology of regeneration by antioxidant protection and trophic prosurvival signaling. His research focusses on bioenergetic agents such as nitric oxide and on redox regulation such as neurovascular coupling. Together with many other distinguished scientists he investigates the unique nootropic, neurotrophic and neuroprotective activity of melatonin and related tryptophan metabolites based on their potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory antiamyloidogenic effects such as amyloid clearance by the glymphatic system, the connective tissue, the interstitium and the gastrointestinal tract. Based on the exploration of these protective agents, he works on developing new possibilities to extend human health and life span. He is widely published with over 120 PubMed listed publications.
