He is a trained neurologist and co-director of the Neuro-SysMed Center for Clinical Trials Research in neurological diseases, at the University of Bergen and Haukeland University Hospital, funded amongst others by the Norwegian Research Council.[1] In 2022, he established the K.G. Jebsen Center for Translational Research in Parkinson's Disease at the University of Bergen, with funding from the K.G. Jebsen Foundation,[2] focusing on better diagnostics and identification of disease subtypes in order to offer personalized treatments.

Background

In 2010 Prof. Tzoulis obtained his PhD at the University of Bergen with a project on Clinical and molecular studies of Mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma (POLG) associated disease.[3] Tzoulis is professor in neurology and neurogenetics at the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Bergen, with an appointment at Haukeland University Hospital. As a clinical neurologist, Prof. Tzoulis is an expert on movement disorders and neurodegeneration, including dementia and parkinsonism. He leads the research group "Neuromics",[4] which focuses on exploring the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease with the aim to improve patient diagnosis and develop neuroprotective therapies. Amongst others, he has received a Career Grant from the Western Norway Regional Health Authority (2014-2018),[5] a career fellowship from the Trond Mohn Foundation (2017-2021),[6] and several awards for excellent research (e.g., Falch Research Prize in 2018[7]).
