Our Research Goals

Our goal is to provide a unified theory of how immune mechanisms and the glial network drive neurologic disorders and autoimmunity and to translate these laboratory discoveries into new therapies.

Open Questions

What role do glial cells play in autoimmunity? How does cellular metabolism regulate immune potential? Do lipids shape the immune response? How do peripheral immune cells, glial cells, and neurons communicate? Do you want to discover how to harness the power of the body’s immune system to help develop new treatments for multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain tumors, and many other illnesses?

Transdisciplinary Research

We take a transdisciplinary approach in our research endeavors using immunologic, genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic approaches to study neuroinflammation.

Research Programs

Our research comprises basic and translational programs aiming to elucidate the molecular immunometabolic mechanisms of intracellular communication that drive neurologic disorders (ranging from autoimmune and degenerative diseases to cancer).

Say good morning to our new medicine laureate Svante Pääbo!

Pääbo received the news while enjoying a cup of coffee. After the shock wore off, one of the first things he wondered was if he could share the news with his wife, Linda.
