Understanding neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's Disease [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Peter Crack (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Juliet Taylor ,  E/Pr Iain Campbell ,  Prof Roberto Cappai

Brief description This project opens a new line of enquiry into the cellular signalling mechanisms involved in the progression of AD and establishes whether targeting the involvement of type-1 IFN signalling influences the evolution of AD. New and novel approaches are clearly required to treat AD. Importantly, we believe that neuroinflammation is common to all causes of dementia and targeting the neuroinflammatory pathways has much wider implications than targeting the primary causative pathway.
