Specializations

Neuroimaging and Brain PET Research

Michel BOTTLAENDER is involved in clinical research centred on advanced positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging for neurological and psychiatric conditions, with a strong emphasis on molecular imaging of brain pathology.

  • Alzheimer's disease and tau pathology
  • Multiple sclerosis and remyelination
  • Huntington's disease biomarkers
  • Schizophrenia and neuroinflammation

His work also includes imaging-based evaluation of disease distribution, white matter involvement, and neurobiological markers linked to progression and therapeutic response.

Epilepsy and Neurosurgical Imaging

His clinical trial activity includes research on presurgical localisation in drug-resistant epilepsy, with a particular focus on identifying the epileptic focus through targeted molecular imaging.

  • Seizure zone localisation
  • SEEG-guided surgical candidates
  • Preoperative brain mapping

This area reflects an interest in imaging tools that support decision-making in complex epilepsy care.

Psychiatry and Neurobiological Therapeutics

His research portfolio extends to psychiatric disorders, including major depressive disorder, early psychosis, and schizophrenia, with attention to functional outcomes and biologically informed treatment strategies.

  • Severe depression
  • Ultra high risk of psychosis
  • Functional recovery in early psychosis
  • Synaptic density and cortical neuroinflammation

He is also engaged in studies linking imaging biomarkers with clinical presentation in mood and psychotic disorders.

Oncology and Gastrointestinal Cancer

Michel BOTTLAENDER contributes to clinical research in solid tumours, especially colorectal cancer, rectal cancer, small bowel adenocarcinoma, and metastatic oeso-gastric adenocarcinoma, with interest in treatment selection and disease control.

  • Locally advanced colorectal cancer
  • Microsatellite unstable rectal cancer
  • KRAS G12C-mutated colorectal adenocarcinoma
  • Advanced gastro-oesophageal malignancies

His work also includes imaging and biomarker-oriented assessment in primary central nervous system lymphoma and other oncologic settings.

Critical Care and Infectious Disease

His trial activity includes acute care and hospital-based infectious disease research, with involvement in conditions managed in intensive care and surgical or paediatric settings.

  • Septic shock
  • Ventilator-associated pneumonia
  • Complicated acute appendicitis
  • Acute pyelonephritis in children
  • Severe hyponatremia

These studies reflect a focus on clinically relevant interventions in acute medical and surgical care.
