Research Profile
The laboratory focuses on the study of how brain pathologies affect the neurovascular unit (NVU). Given that the blood brain barrier (BBB) is the gateway to the CNS, we approach our studies by centralizing our efforts around this highly specialized structure. The ongoing research can be categorized as follows: 1) assay development to usher-in the next generation of microfluidic modeling of the neurovascular unit, 2) characterization of the temporal and spatial progression of neuroinflammation, 3) serological biomarker discovery for evaluation of BBB damage during brain injury, and 4) intervention with pharmacological or biological agents that can halt damage or enhance repair of NVUs. Our expertise is interdisciplinary and meets at the intersection of neuroscience, immunology, molecular biology, microbiology, translational medicine, pharmacology and bioengineering.
