Daniel Anthony
Fellow & Tutor in Medicine; Professor of Experimental Neuropathology
Daniel Anthony is Professor of Experimental Neuropathology. His research group is located in the Department of Pharmacology.
Daniel joined Somerville and the Department of Pharmacology in 2004 where he established the Experimental Neuropathology Laboratory. The focus of the work of his laboratory is to explore the cross-talk between the brain or spinal cord and the peripheral immune system using a combination of non-invasive imaging, molecular biology and immunochemical techniques. Signals carried between the brain and the peripheral immune system are important in the development of CNS disease, and there is now considerable evidence to support the idea that inappropriate immune system activation contributes, in a deleterious manner, not only to the archetypal inflammatory disease of the brain, multiple sclerosis, but also to acute neurological diseases, such as stroke and head trauma, and to chronic neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, prion disease, and HIV-related dementia.
