About me

I have a strong research interest in understanding the role of innate immune responses
in the brain in the context of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis and multiple sclerosis with the aim to identify novel therapeutic targets for
these diseases.
