Neuroimmunology/Multiple sclerosis

The recently founded research group «Neuroimmunology/MS» combines basic research with translational and clinical approaches. We are particularly interested in the mechanisms of the autoimmune inflammatory responses of the nervous system in vitro, in animal models and in human biological samples with a special focus on glial and T-cell biology. The identification of potential molecular and clinical markers for detection of disease progression and the assessment of the benefit-risk profile under immunotherapy also follows a translational approach with biological samples from different clinical studies.
