Research focus
We discovered a population of brain resident T cells regulating microglia maturation, challenging current dogmas in the field of neuroimmunology. Our main objective is to gain mechanistic insights into the contribution of T cells to brain plasticity and their impact on neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders.
