Research Focus
Andrew Steelman’s research identifies both detrimental and repair-promoting signaling pathways resulting from neuroinflammation and glial activation, then modulates them in such a way as to achieve a beneficial outcome for those suffering from neurological diseases. Members of this laboratory are investigating the physiological consequences of glial activation during infectious and autoimmune encephalitis. Visit his research group’s website for more information.
