Catchup – Precision Inflammation in the Brain
February 11 @ 12:00 pm - 12:45 pm
Inflammation plays a central role in many neurological conditions, yet the immune system in the brain behaves very differently from the rest of the body. Understanding how these responses are regulated, and how they can be influenced with precision, is an active area of research.
This Salon Research Showcase session brings together researchers and the public for a 45 minute online session to explore how inflammation in the brain can be studied and controlled using phenotype driven approaches.
In this session, Dr Kate Harris from Newcastle University will discuss her research on brain inflammation, focusing on cell based screening and target deconvolution as tools for identifying new ways to modulate immune responses. She will explore how these approaches help reveal subtle immune behaviours and why controlling inflammation requires nuance rather than broad suppression.
Attendees can expect a clear overview of phenotype driven discovery, insight into how immune targets are identified, and time for questions and discussion.
