However, the cause(s) of this inflammation and the devastating consequences that ensue are poorly defined, as reflected by a lack of effective treatments. Moreover, their relatedness to inflammatory diseases outside of the central nervous system (CNS), such as inflammatory bowel disease or rheumatoid arthritis, is also unknown. We have shown how studying individual cells directly from patient blood or mapping biological events across the diseased brain in post-mortem tissue, can expose an intricate network of neuroinflammatory processes, which can change dramatically both through time and within the tissue. Importantly, we have developed fantastic collaborations with our local and international clinical colleagues, enabling us to study these diseases directly from patient samples, which are complemented by a wealth of clinical data. Our in-house capabilities include the generation of single cell epigenetic and transcriptomic data, complemented with protein level data (CITE-seq), spatial transcriptomics, and functional validation studies, including CRISPR-editing of primary cells.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div><strong>About You</strong></div><br> <div>The successful applicant(s) is invited to expand and build upon this exciting research platform and to dissect the underlying biology that either unites or sets complex inflammatory diseases apart.
