Oxford Centre for Neuroinflammation launched

General

We are delighted to announce the launch of the new Oxford Centre for Neuroinflammation (OCNI), which aims to shed light on the causes of neurodegenerative diseases and uncover new treatment pathways.

Headed by Professor Lars Fugger, the centre will bring together biomedical, analytical and clinical expertise, to investigate the neuroinflammatory mechanisms that underpin a range of neurodegenerative diseases. This will allow our researchers to develop new tools for faster diagnosis, more accurate prognosis and new targets for life-changing and life-saving treatments.
