working as post-doctoral fellow at Dr. Dore-Duffy’s lab, Neurology. My research focuses on neuroimmunology of the central nervous system (CNS) disorders, and the physiology of the blood brain barrier (BBB) and the role played by the BBB in neurological diseases.  Our lab is pioneer of CNS vascular pericyte, an integral cellular constituent of the neurovascular unit. Our lab has recently identified this cell as an adult multipotent stem cell. Pericyte-related research projects include the role of pericytes in stress responses, brain tumors, and angiogenesis
