Enabling the in vivo study of human microglia/ human neuron interactions: a new human-mouse chimeric model for neurological disease

Project Description. How do immune cells help shape the developing human brain? And what happens when this process goes wrong?. This exciting PhD project will create a ground-breaking human-mouse chimera model containing both human neurons and human microglia, the brain's resident immune cells. Read more
