In this edition of NCTalks, we speak to Robyn Klein, a Professor of Medicine, Immunobiology and Neuroscience at Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, Missouri in the USA. Robyn’s research focuses on the pathogenesis of neuroinflammatory diseases in the CNS, specifically the mechanism of leukocyte recruitment into the CNS, and the direct effects of inflammatory mediators on resident neural cells. In this interview, we ask Robyn about her work in this area as part of our Spotlight on neuroimmunology – we’ll discuss Robyn’s research, how inflammatory processes contribute to neurologic disease, and whether immunology and inflammation could be the basis of an eventual preventative treatment for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
