November 6, 2019 | Harnack House Berlin, Germany
Isabelle Budin-Ljøsne
Norwegian Institute of Public Health
Isabelle Budin-Ljøsne leads the Stakeholder Engagement work package of
Lifebrain. She is a bioethicist and senior adviser at the Norwegian Institute of Public
Health. Her research explores ethical and societal challenges associated with health
research and the development of personalised medicine. Her work includes research
on consent processes, data sharing practices, methods for stakeholder engagement,
and the feedback of research results to research participants. Isabelle’s work in
Lifebrain aims to explore the views and perspectives of stakeholders on brain health,
for instance, by means of the Global Brain Health Survey. Isabelle is also the national
ELSI representative of the biobank infrastructure Biobank Norway and the chair of the
Nordic Committee on Bioethics.

Gaël Chételat
UMR-S INSERM 1237 Physiopathology and
Imaging of Neurological Disorders (PhIND)
Gaël Chételat (www.gael-chetelat.fr) is Director of Research at Inserm. She is
responsible for a research team named «Multimodal Neuroimaging and Lifestyle in
Ageing and Dementia». Her work is devoted to the understanding of the mechanisms
underlying ageing and dementia processes and the lifestyle factors that could prevent
or delay age-associated disorders. She is mainly involved in clinical studies using
multimodal neuroimaging techniques including MRI and PET. Her research team is
also interested in promoting healthy ageing and well-being through non-
pharmaceutical interventions. In particular, Gaël Chételat is coordinating an H2020
European grant (www.silversantestudy.eu, PHC22, 2015-2020) investigating the
impact of English learning and meditation training on mental health and well-being in
ageing populations.

Agnes Flöel
University Medicine Greifswald, Germany
Agnes Flöel is Director of the Department of Neurology and Head of the Laboratory
for Cognitive Neurology at the University Medicine Greifswald. The Department of
Neurology treats around 8,000 patients yearly, including 1,000 patients with
