Our studies focus on the mechanisms underlying the interactions between the immune system and central nervous system (CNS) and how such interactions contribute to the tissue injury observed in such human neurologic disorders as multiple sclerosis, HIV encephalopathy, and Alzheimer's disease.
The studies are conducted using human peripheral blood derived immune cells and human neural cells (astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes (OLs)), derived from surgically resected adult human CNS tissues.
