PATTERSON LAB WEBSITE
Much of the research in this
laboratory involves the overlap and interaction between the nervous and immune
systems. The role of neuropoietic cytokines in PNS and CNS injury and repair,
neurodegenerative disease, learning and memory, pain, and inflammation is being
examined primarily through the use of knockout mice and viral-driven
over-expression in vivo.
Additional projects
include developing a mouse model of mental illness, exploring novel treatments
for Huntington's disease, and the connection between behavioral stress and melanoma
cancer.
