About
Influx of toxic macromolecules and cells across the blood brain barrier (BBB) promotes neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Dr. Lutz studies the mechanisms of BBB damage and strategies for repair in autoimmune and infectious disease. Current projects focus on Wnt/beta-catenin regulation of T cell migration across the BBB in multiple sclerosis, COVID-19, and vascular dementia.
