RESEARCH

 

Our laboratory is dedicated (1) to the study of the immune response and the cytokine network in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and (2) to the analysis of the proteins of the cerebrospinal fluid as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers in inflammatory, infectious and degenerative neurological diseases.

 The current projects are:

• Immune dysregulation in MS
• Analysis of specific CSF proteins using a proteomics approach.
