We study neuro-immune interactions

Our mission is to understand the relationship between inflammation and the onset of psychiatric and neurological disorders. We want to use to this knowledge to improve treatments for patients.

We are a group of clinicians and scientists with expertise in neuroscience and immunology. Our research programme leverages the power of genomic information and stem cell derived model systems as well as biological samples from patients.
