Investigating Schwann cell and Oligodendrocyte Biology in Health and Disease to enhance Myelin Regeneration


Our work is primarily developed along the following lines of action

  • Unraveling the complexities of myelin and its role in neurological disorders.
  • Understand the underlying causes of peripheral neuropathies and demyelinating disorders.
  • Comprehend the mechanisms that impede regeneration in aging peripheral nerves and the central nervous system.
  • Investigate the intricate interplay between inflammation and glial cells to comprehend how it influences myelin maintenance and repair in health and disease.

Our laboratory aims to understand how the interaction between inflammation and adult brain stem cells, known as oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, regulates formation, maintenance and myelin regeneration in health and disease.

Exploring the ageing process in Schwann cells and its impact on the immune system’s role in peripheral neuropathies forms the core of my research, with a focus on understanding how immune interactions contribute to neurodegeneration and age-related dysfunctions in the peripheral nervous system.
