CSF1R and the control of microglial function [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description Microglia are cells of the immune system that are abundant in the brain. They appear early in development of the embryo and are believed to be essential for brain development and health ageing. Human mutations that affect the function of microglia cause dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases. This project is concerned with analysing the precise function of a gene that controls the generation of microglia using novel animal models.
