Objectives of research

The objective of the present project is to delineate the properties and role of gpr157, a promising microglia enriched-gene. We will develop a program that combines expression analyses in clinical samples, in vitro studies and state-of-the-art in vivo experiments in the zebrafish model to investigate its functions in microglia physiology and pathology.
