The Neuroimmunology Laboratories are led by four well-funded, collaborative principal investigators who share space, equipment, and ideas in a highly interactive, international, research-focused environment. The overall aim of these laboratories is to increase our understanding of the pathophysiology of cancer therapy-induced neurobehavioral toxicities, including neuropathic pain, depressed mood, cognitive dysfunction, and fatigue. This newly acquired knowledge can then be applied to the rational design of novel interventions for alleviating symptom burden in patients with cancer.

The Neuroimmunology Laboratories
Did You Know?
The Neuroimmunology Laboratories are part of the?Department of Symptom Research.
The labs extend the department's ongoing descriptive research and interventional trials by incorporating animal models of pain, fatigue, neuropathy, cognitive impairment and the underlying neuroinflammatory mechanisms.
