Our research
We investigate the mechanisms controlling the activities of the cells present in the brain and their impact on the microenvironment and the pathogenesis of brain diseases. We focus mostly on the astrocytes, microglia, and macrophages infiltrating the brain in pathological states.
VPS10P receptors in glia
Glial cells, in particular astrocytes and microglia, play a key role in reacting to any brain disease or damage. In response to pathological changes in the brain, glial cells undergo activation...
TET2 in stroke
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and often leads to lifelong disability. In this project, carried out by an international consortium, we investigate the role of so-called clonal hematopoiesis in ischemic stroke...
CHI3L1 in post-stroke regeneration
In this research project, we aim to explore whether blocking CHI3L1 can aid recovery after stroke. We will investigate how CHI3L1 influences cells in the brain after ischemic injury and how astrocytes release this protein...
SORCS2 dysfunction in neonatal encelopathy
In our collaborative study with researchers from Canada, a novel mutation in the SORCS2 gene in full-term newborns with epileptic neonatal encephalopathy was identified. Now, we want to characterize the molecular mechanisms linking this mutation with neuronal dysfunction and epilepsy...
