Research Synopsis
Our lab is interested in brain repair. We are especially interested in astrocyte heterogeneity and how it is established, the roles of astrocytes in the injured/diseased brain, and how this knowledge can inform future therapeutic interventions. We are also fascinated by the gut-brain axis, and how the gut can mediate recovery from brain injury, which, who knows, may turn out to involve astrocytes!
