Investigator
Grant Activity:
Improving outcomes for people with multiple sclerosis
Purpose:
I will investigate the cause and drivers of multiple sclerosis a disease of the brain and spinal cord that causes neurological disability by inducing demyelination, that is loss of the insulating coat ensheathing nerves. Specifically, I will investigate how two molecules known as Tyro3 and Mertk improve repair. I will also explore whether transplanted immune cells expressing Mertk promote remyelination and develop molecules that stimulate Mertk with sufficient longevity to be of clinical use.
