Neuroimmune Modulation
in Stroke Recovery
Our committee investigates how the immune system influences recovery following stroke, emphasizing the roles of astrocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, and other neuroimmune mechanisms that shape neurological outcomes.
Goals
• review and synthesize current literature on neuroimmune interactions in stroke
• analyze experimental and clinical data to identify immune-related recovery trends
• examine demographic and biological factors (age, sex, comorbidities) that modulate immune responses
• explore computational or predictive models linking immune activity to post-stroke recovery trajectories
• present findings through quarterly progress updates and a final poster at the Spring Showcase
