This research group studies microglia, the immune cells of the brain, and how they change shape and behavior in response to stress, aging, and diseases like Alzheimer's. Their work combines brain imaging, molecular biology, and lipid analysis to understand how these cells interact with neurons, blood vessels, and synapses in both healthy and diseased states. Much of the work uses mouse models to examine sex differences, chronic stress, and diet-related effects on brain immune function.
Publication output has been relatively steady over the last decade, with a peak around 2020-2021 and modest, fluctuating activity in more recent years averaging under two papers per year over the last five years.
