Our lab is interested in the study and modulation of autophagic turnover in the brain in neurovascular diseases. In this context, we are currently trying to understand the peculiarities of the autophagic and lysosomal networks in oligodendrocytes, and how the modulation of these networks shape oligodendrocyte health and function, including axon myelination and regulation of the neurovascular unit.
