Description of Academic/Research Interests
The main focus of my laboratory is to determine how aberrant induction of innate immune responses may accelerate the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Currently we are investigating the potential of particulate matter, present in air pollution, to trigger an inflammatory response in the CNS of chronically exposed animal models.
Another project is to delineate beneficial innate immune responses in human embryonic stem cell populations. This work is in collaboration with Dr. Hans Keirstead (University of California, Irvine). The identification of these pathways may aid in the eventual therapeutic use of these cells in chronic neuroinflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
