Delighted that our work on interferon-alpha driven brain disease has made the front cover of Immunity after many years of work with brilliant collaborators in Australia, France and US. Short summary of paper to follow.

Promising pathway discovered to treat rare childhood brain disease A study co-led by University of Sydney + Charles Perkins Centre Assoc Prof Markus Hofer + Prof Prof David Hunt reveals fresh insight into the mechanisms underlying a rare disease that can cause childhood dementia Aicardi-Goutières

Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome is a rare disease that can trigger #dementia in children. Previous Emerging Leaders Prize winner Prof David Hunt recently co-led a study, funded in part by Medical Research Foundation, that could lead to new treatments for this condition. bit.ly/3LQdjjM UK Dementia Research Institute

Introducing, Oxford Laboratory for Neuroimmunology and Immunopsychiatry (OLNI)! We are a group of clinicians and scientists who want to understand how inflammation affects the brain. Annapoorna Kannan Tom Johnson Lahiru Handunnetthi Babak Soleimani Greg Holt Laurissa Watch this space!
