Lab description
Viral infections in the brain can have fatal outcomes if not controlled by the immune system. At the same time, the immune response can also cause both acute and long-term damage to the brain. Therefore, there is an increasing appreciation of the role of the immune system in acute infections, post-infectious brain conditions, and neurodegenerative diseases. Despite this interest, the mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. Our aim is to uncover novel immunological mechanisms underpinning post-infectious brain conditions and neurodegenerative diseases.
