Background
About Henri Leinonen
I am a pharmacologist and neuroscientist. My current research focuses on two main projects:(1) Homeostatic plasticity in the mammalian retina, its molecular mechanisms and implications for visual function;(2) finding treatments for retinal degenerative diseases such as Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Retinitis Pigmentosa. I employ drug repurposing-strategy using FDA-approved drugs affecting on G-protein coupled receptors. My PhD project was based on the realization that the retina of the eye manifests pathological changes in diseases that are primary known as brain diseases (such as Alzheimer´s and Huntington´s Diseases). The goal of this research branch is to develop retina-based biomarkers for brain diseases. We hope that with the help of retina-based biomarkers these diseases could be diagnosed in an early disease phase, or even before clinical disease manifestation.
