Britta Engelhard’s research is devoted to understanding thefunction of the different brain barriers in regulating CNS immunesurveillance and how their impaired function contributes toneuroinflammatory diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) orAlzheimer’s disease (AD). Her laboratory combines expertise invascular biology, neuroimmunology and live cell imaging and hasdeveloped sophisticated in vitro and in vivo approaches to studyimmune cell interactions with the brain barriers in health andneuroinflammation.
