Dr Luca Peruzzotti-Jametti University positionSenior Research Associate Dr Luca Peruzzotti-Jametti is pleased to consider applications from prospective PhD students. DepartmentsDepartment of Clinical Neurosciences Home pagehttps://scholar.google.com/citatio... Research ThemesInterestsMy research focuses on the mechanisms driving chronic CNS damage in conditions of neuroinflammation, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Currently I am studying how progression works in MS by focusing on the link between immune cell metabolism and chronic neuroinflammation. Research Focus
