Researchers: Prof Iain Campbell (Principal investigator)

Brief description Glial cells of the brain change their function in response to local threats such as damage and this may contribute to either protection or injury of neurons. How glial cells mount this response is unknown. The goal of this project is to determine the role of the protein IRF8 in controlling the functional response of glial cells. The results will provide a better understanding of how glial cells contribute to neurological and neurodegenerative diseases.
