Our understanding of how the brain is built, maintained, and affected by disorders has evolved significantly.
Recent discoveries highlight that neurons and glial cells use innate immunity mechanisms to regulate each other's functions. Furthermore, cells in the central nervous system (CNS) and its vasculature interact with various immune cells at the CNS borders, influencing the brain’s development, maintenance, and pathology.
Our laboratory is dedicated to uncovering new mechanisms and investigating the role of brain immunity in regulating CNS functions and brain disorders.
Through this research, we aim to significantly advance the understanding of autoimmune disorders, neuroinflammatory diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases, ultimately providing new therapeutic strategies for these challenging conditions.
