Welcome to Siegert Lab!
Our lab is interested in obtaining insights into how microglia influence the functionality of the nervous system and their involvement in brain dysfunction. Specifically, we focus on how environmental cues drive microglia to modulate circuit formation and function, and how microglia that are intrinsically hampered in their response impact the interaction between neurons and glia. This involves dissection of morpho-functional microglia signatures within mouse and human contexts.
