    Interests

    I am paediatric doctor with an interest in neuroinflammatory disorders. Under the supervision of Professor Ragnhildur Thóra Káradóttir, I use in-vivo models of focal demyelination to investigate interaction between the brain-resident immune cells called microglia, the adaptive immune system, and neurons in remyelination.
