Determine how immune cells and inflammation shape the aging process in the brain to promote organ resilience during aging and in age-related diseases
-
Target inflammation for brain resilience
Use protein engineering to specifically target immune cells and pathways in the old brain to improve brain function at the cellular, circuit and behavioral levels
-
Find age-related antigens in old organs
Use antigen screening and T cell receptor sequences to determine what attracts T cells to aged organs
-
Role of immune cells in rejuvenation
Establish the role of immune cells in rejuvenating interventions, is T cell rejuvenation necessary or sufficient to bring beneficial effects?
