Research
Using innovative techniques and experimental designs, my laboratory aims to explore white matter injury and repair in Multiple Sclerosis. We aim to better understand the mechanisms of cell death and white matter degeneration, as well as the complex immune response following white matter injury. These studies will guide the complementary objective of mitigating inflammatory injury and improving white matter .
