My research aims to interrogate the role of the immune system in the neuropathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and the progression of dementia. Studies focus on characterising leukocyte and glia activation in relation to CNS protein aggregation and neuronal loss during disease using functional immune assays. Immunophenotyping approaches are also used to determine whether the clinical heterogeneity in Parkinson's disease patients is influenced by the immune system.
