What is a Neuroimmunologist?
A neuroimmunologist is a scientist who studies the immune system's role in neurological diseases.
What Does a Neuroimmunologist Do?
Neuroimmunologists research how the immune system responds to and protects the nervous system. They investigate autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the nervous system. Neuroimmunologists also study the role of inflammation in neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.
