Welcome to the neurovascular unit laboratory, headed by Dr. Annika Keller. Our group studies the development, function and dysfunction of the neurovascular unit in health and disease. We employ mouse genetics and advanced molecular and imaging techniques with the aim to understand the role of the individual cells (e.g. microglia, pericytes, astrocytes). If you share our interest in the cell and molecular biology of developing, healthy or dysfunctional neurovascular unit, then let us know. We are always available for meetings and discussions.
