Comparative studies of human and murine neuropathology of neurodegeneration

University Lecturer and FellowHead of Experimental Neuropathology Laboratory

How mediators of the inflammatory response contribute to the outcome of spinal or brain injuries. How events in others organs, such as the liver, contribute to the outcome of brain injury or disease. In particular (with the Neuroimaging group), we are studying the mechanisms that give rise to the reactivation of a Multiple sclerosis-like lesions by a systemic inflammatory response. How brain injury contributes to the outcome of disease elsewhere in the body with a focus on how hepatic NFkB activity contributes to the acute phase response after CNS injury (with Dr Mann, Southampton). How inflammation affects brain serotonin function and the relevance to depression (with Dr Sharp and the Neuroimaging group).
