My particular interest thereby lies in the role of microglia, which are the resident immune cells of the brain. My PhD project examines if and how microglia can contribute to neuroprotection and recovery following CNS insults. Image For this purpose, I have established a brain injury model in larval zebrafish and am using in vivo imaging, pharmacological approaches, and transcriptomics to study the role of microglia in this context.
