Our research aims to explore how microglia sense environmental cues and translate their response to the neuronal network, leading to defined behavioral outcomes. A lack of appropriate reaction will lead to brain dysfunction.
As a result, we work on diverse aspects of microglia interaction, including questions related to i) their morphology, ii) their relationship with other glial cells and neurons, and (iii) their impact on brain function and behavior.
We combine various methodologies from molecular and cellular neuroscience, including behavioral neuroscience, immunology, mathematics, biophysics, and computational modeling, applied across different model systems.
