Exploring brain-body connection
Our goal is to understand the complex interactions between the brain and body that maintain health. This understanding allows insight into the underlying causes for devastating diseases that dramatically impact quality of life and survival.
We focus on the role of inflammation and the interplay of the nervous and immune systems as the mediator of disease.
Collaboration across fields
Work in one area of research often offers insight in different, but related areas. Our members hold doctorates in immunology, medicine, neuroscience, physiology, psychology, radiation biology, and materials science engineering and have extensive experience across multiple basic science and medical fields.
By working together across these scientific disciplines, our researchers as well as their fields gain the greatest benefit.
