Applications include autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative diseases,
and psychiatric disorders. Defining the impact of immune regulation in many
disorders is a fast-emerging field that holds great promise for improving
the quality of life of those afflicted by such conditions. The lab investigates
the link between the immune system and the central nervous system (CNS)
to understand how communication between the two decision-making
systems affects susceptibility to and progression of both age-related
psychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease
and autoimmune diseases, like multiple sclerosis. The ultimate goal of our
research is to provide better tools for the early diagnosis and treatment of
neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases, two conditions with evergrowing
social and financial costs.

Laboratory location: NIBN, Building 39, Room 003.
