Mapping cell type reactivity across scales in progressive neuroinflammation
Understanding the molecular and spatially restricted drivers underlying progressive neuroinflammation is a key interest of our work. We focus on cell type-specific mechanisms to map homeostatic and reactive cell types to the inflamed microenvironment. A prime goal of our work is to decode damage and repair pathways in immune-mediated neuromuscular diseases such as multiple sclerosis and autoimmune myositis.
