BJC Investigator; Alan A. and Edith L. Wolff Distinguished Professor of Pathology and Immunology; Professor of Neurology, Neuroscience and Neurology
Research Interests
My research group focuses on the complex interactions between the immune system and the central nervous system (CNS). The goal is to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these interactions in neurodegenerative, neurodevelopmental, and mental disorders as well as in physiology (including healthy aging).

Kipnis Lab
The Kipnis lab investigates how the immune and nervous systems communicate in both health and disease. Our discovery of lymphatic vessels surrounding the brain has reshaped understanding in neuroimmunology and revealed new insights into how the immune system influences neurological disorders.
