Research Interests
We address damage and repair of the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) in mouse models of human neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. We use genetic, pharmacologic, and intravital imaging approaches to assess blood vessel remodeling and immune cell infiltration of target organs in autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis; regenerative medicine; cancer metastasis; and inflammatory bowel disease. Special focus on Wnt/beta-catenin and Caveolin-1. Our ultimate goal is developing new therapies for disease.
