“Can we instruct microglia to fight neurodegenerative diseases?”

We study the contribution of microglial cells and underlying mechanisms of neuronal and glial dyshomeostasis in neurodegenerative conditions including Alzheimer´s disease (AD) and the childhood dementia Niemann-Pick type C (NPC). We use translational approaches to identify molecular fingerprints of microglial dysfunction and identify novel cellular targets to target and monitor neuroinflammation across neurodegenerative disorders.
