Speakers
Dr. Deczkowska did her PhD in Neuroimmunology at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel where she also continued her PostDoc. Since 2021, she is the principal investigator at the Brain-Immune Communication Lab at the Institut Pasteur in Paris. Deczkowskas’ lab on deciphering the contributions of the immune cells and mechanisms to brain physiology and disease.
Research interests:
- mechanisms of brain-immune communication in health and disease
- microglia
- single cell genomics and CRISPR screens
