MIND Lab
The MIND (Molecular Imaging of Neuroimmune responses in Degeneration) Lab aims to enhance understanding, detection and treatment of devastating neurological diseases through the development and evaluation of noninvasive translational molecular imaging strategies. We are particularly interested in the relationship between peripheral and central nervous system innate immune responses and how this crosstalk affects disease development and progression of neurological disorders.
Our People
The lab, led by Aisling Chaney, PhD, thrives in a multidisciplinary environment encompassing neuroscience, radiochemistry, translational radiology and neuroimmunology via a talented team of diverse researchers.
Projects
The MIND Lab utilizes existing and novel molecular imaging strategies to characterize the role of peripheral and central innate immune cells in the initiation and progression of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.
