Hi! Our lab investigates what regulates CNS myelin development, damage & regeneration with implications for neurological conditions e.g. MS, AD and cognitive decline. Using 'omics, transgenics & human neuropath. Focus on immune-glial interactions. Soft spot for microglia & women/ diversity in STEM.

I hope this Nobel Prize gets people talking meaningfully about our amazing immune systems and the importance of basic research to human health (and funding basic research).
I am also glad young women get to see that women can not only work at this level, but that those who do can get recognized.
