Zebrafish as an animal model; live imaging; genome editing; behavioral testing; transcriptomics

We study interactions between the innate immune system and the developing nervous system. In particular, we analyze the outcomes of viral encephalitis, distinguishing the impact of infection itself and of induced neuroinflammation, with the long-term goal of mitigating sequelae. We also study how sterile inflammation perturbs differentiation of some neuronal subtypes, such as dopaminergic neurons, promoting late onset of psychiatric diseases; or how it impacts brain repair.
