Dr. Katrin Andreasson's group is investigating the role that innate immune responses play in the initiation and progression of neurological diseases. Recent advances in human genetics, particularly for neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, have highlighted a causal role for a disrupted immune response in disease pathogenesis. An injurious immune response may be a common denominator across many neurological disorders, both acute (brain trauma or stroke) and chronic (epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer's for eg.).
