Research Interests

  • Neuroimmunology: interactions between two complex systems: the immune system and the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
  • Elucidation of the mechanisms whereby T lymphocytes (CD8 and CD4) attack cells of the central nervous system and thus contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
  • Characterization of molecules (ligands, cytokines, intracellular proteins) expressed by the central nervous system to locally modulate immune responses.
  • Impact of cytokines on the functions of cells of the immune system and the central nervous system.
