Research summary

Cierra Carafice's research touches on immune system biology, particularly inflammation-related processes (inflammasomes), and how cellular 'cleanup' mechanisms called autophagy relate to brain diseases like Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative conditions. Recent work has included studies on immune cell behavior in cancer and the connection between diet-related gene activity and neurodegenerative disease. The publication record suggests work spans both immunology/cancer biology and neuroscience-related topics.
