Research Focus
Dr. Katrin Andreasson's lab at Stanford University focuses on understanding the roles of immune cells in cognitive decline related to aging and Alzheimer's disease. The research explores how signaling pathways, particularly involving inflammatory signals like prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), affect the function of both peripheral myeloid cells and brain microglia. By investigating these mechanisms, the lab aims to identify potential therapies that could improve cognitive function and mitigate age-related decline.

Research Aims
3AIM 01Identify how inflammatory PGE2 signaling influences cognitive decline in aging and Alzheimer's disease.
AIM 02Explore the metabolic reprogramming of peripheral myeloid cells and its effects on brain function.
AIM 03Determine the relative contributions of peripheral versus brain myeloid immunity in cognitive decline.
