Research project studying innate immunity in monocytes and its role in neurodegeneration, funded by NINDS and NIA.
Description
The project focuses on studying innate immunity responses in monocytes and their contribution to neurodegeneration, particularly in relation to Alzheimer's disease and HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder. The research involves cellular biology, viral immunology, and 3D brain organoid methodologies. The project is funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the National Institute on Aging (NIA).
