- Microbiology
Our research explores the intricate interplay between the nervous system and immune and cellular homeostatic pathways at the organismal level through our cutting-edge research. The study of mechanisms involved in the control of immune pathways is critical as disruptions in these processes can have profound implications, including increased susceptibility to infection, heightened cancer risks, and the onset of conditions like Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease.
