The lab aims to identify and characterize clinically relevant immune cell states and molecular pathways driving neuroimmunological diseases. By integrating human biomedical research with artificial intelligence (AI), we seek to translate complex molecular data into clinically meaningful insights, improving diagnostics and therapeutic strategies. As an interdisciplinary team of biologists, clinicians, and data scientists we collaboratively tackle fundamental questions in neuroimmunology. Read more...
