Wofford Lab

Brain injuries affect millions of men, women, and children across the globe every year.

In the Neuroinflammation and Immunomodulation Lab, we work to understand the effects of brain injury and to harness the immune system to improve outcomes. We study how immune cells change post-injury, how they influence the damaged brain, and how we can harness them to promote tissue health. Together we are advancing fundamental knowledge and developing impactful therapeutic and diagnostic strategies for brain injuries.

Welcome to the Neuroinflammation and Immunomodulation Lab

The Neuroinflammation and Immunomodulation Lab is dedicated to exploring the intricate relationship between the immune system and the brain, particularly following injury. Our research is driven by a profound curiosity about the immune responses that occur in the brain and how these responses can be modulated to support recovery and regeneration.

We believe that exceptional people and rigorous experiments are essential components for scientific progress. We believe that people are at their best when they are supported, challenged, and valued for their unique perspectives and attributes. As a team, we strive to learn together to advance our understanding and push scientific boundaries forward.
