Daniel B. McKim studies how the brain's immune system and inflammation-related signaling affect brain function, using mouse models to examine microglia (the brain's resident immune cells), interleukin-1 signaling, stress, traumatic brain injury, and viral infection. His work also touches on how immune signals communicate with blood vessels and monocytes in the brain, and some recent work extends into stem cell biology methods. Prospective students would be working at the intersection of neuroscience, immunology, and neuroinflammation using animal models and cellular/molecular techniques.
