Detailed Biography:

Role of monocytes and monocyte migration across the blood-brain barrier in neurodegenerative disorders, specifically, the role of chemokines and apoptosis in Alzheimer's disease and AIDS dementia Research Description: Blood-brain barrier physiology and immunology: immune cell migration and virus penetration; immunomodulation by drugs of abuse: cytokines, lympho- proliferation and virus penetration; Alzheimer's disease: inflammatory pathogenesis.
