Expertise
I am a neuroimmunologist with over seven years of experience investigating how immune cells contribute to brain inflammation and degeneration. My research combines advanced flow cytometry, single-cell RNA sequencing and proteomic approaches to uncover immune mechanisms driving viral encephalitis and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and motor neuron disease. I have developed methods to distinguish and analyze microglia and monocytes in the inflamed brain, revealing their distinct roles in neuroinflammation and identifying potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for early disease detection and intervention.
