Abstract: The immune system plays a critical role in a variety of neuropsychiatric diseases and represents an interesting target for treatment strategies. The talk will provide examples from the 3 key research areas in my group, 1) immune regulation and protective immunity, 2) mechanisms of inflammatory neurodegeneration, 3) prognostic and therapeutic markers, especially focussing on the aspect, how deep immune phenotyping studies and the use of a "reverse and refined translation approach" can aid to the understanding of neuroimmunological mechanisms in CNS inflammatory disorders.
