My main goal is to improve our fundamental knowledge in the mechanisms of disrupted brain barriers and fluids in neurological diseases. To achieve this I continue to develop new models that (1) can reliably get us closer to investigating human pathophysiology and (2) screen potential therapeutic drugs. I expect our research to help future diagnosis and treatment of diseases that impact the brain and reduce the reliance of the use of animals in research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
