Research Interests
Viral infection of the central nervous system (CNS) results in neuroinflammation and are associated with the development of many neurological disorders. My research interest is to study how viral-host interactions are associated with the development of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, focusing mechanistically on the involvement of CNS-infiltrating immune cells in the development of epilepsy (program 1) and multiple sclerosis (program 2).
Our Goal: shed insight into disease mechanisms, allowing for the development of new therapies to improve the lives of patients who suffer from neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative conditions.
