Neuroscience and Neurodegenerative Diseases
Our researchers are at the forefront of research in neuroscience and neurodegenerative diseases, exploring the complex connections between microbial communities, the immune system, and the nervous system. Our studies investigate how the gut-brain axis, neuroinflammation, and microbial metabolites influence the development and progression of conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis. By leveraging advanced techniques in neurobiology, microbiomics, and molecular genetics, our researchers aim to uncover novel microbial and immune-related mechanisms that contribute to neural degeneration, paving the way for innovative diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies to combat these debilitating disorders.
