We’re THRILLED to have this paper out - exploring how BAMs promote neuroinflammation in a model of PD. Congrats to Dr. Aubrey Schonhoff and huge thanks to Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s michaeljfox.org UAB Medicine UAB Department of Neurology and the rest of the Harms lab!! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Dr. Ashley Harms on the importance co-pathologies in driving the immune response in PD - points to the need to think beyond single proteins. #WPC2023 Harms Lab WPC 2026 UAB Department of Neurology

Great review on Science about neuroimmunology. The year is 2023 and people are still saying the brain is isolated, protected, and has immune privilege 🙄.

Additional congratulations to trainee poster award winners @nbaumgar, Rodrigo Campos-Cardoso (not pictured), and @jhodi!

Excited to have this one out! Read more about how innate and adaptive immunity are involved in Parkinson’s disease and how targeting both local and systemic inflammation will be a potential therapeutic approach in our review with @MaluTansey science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Congrats to grad student Nicole J. Corbin-Stein on having this story out!! In this paper we show that IFNgamma contributes to pathology in a model of MSA. actaneurocomms.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Save the dates for these #ParkinsonsAwarenessMonth events coming up from the Parkinson Association of Alabama!

The immune system and inflammation in Parkinson's? Is it linked, and if YES, how? Great review in Brain by Cintia Roodveldt. These authors lay out the facts and share hypotheses that have kept scientists 'globally pondering' the intriguing connections. Key Points: - We keep

Our latest preprint spearheaded by graduate student Nicole J. Corbin-Stein highlights the role of brain resident CD8 T cells in MSA. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Always happy to connect other Roadmap Scholars at the annual NEURAL conference. Thrilled to have the opportunity to share my research so far and so so honoured to have been chosen for the first place prize for oral talks! 🤞🏾🧠🥲 UAB Neuroscience Roadmap Scholars Program

Yesterday I successful defended my thesis! Thank you to everyone to helped me get to this point. Harms Lab thanks for being the best co-workers a girl could ask for. Looking forward to continuing my scientific journey with Le Zhang at Yale this Fall 😊

My first, first-author paper is finally out for preprint!! Here we show that co-pathologies are likely behind the neuroinflammation and neuropathology related to neurodegeneration. More to come!🤞🏾🫶🏾 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
