- Basic mechanisms of immune nervous system interactions
- Immune surveillance of the nervous system
- Interactions between immune system, nervous system and endocrine system in normal immunity and immune mediated diseases
- Infectious diseases of the nervous system: interaction of pathogens with nervous tissue, invasion of pathogens into the central and peripheral nervous system; immune control of CNS infection; immune mediated CNS damage; infection induced autoimmunity of the nervous system; therapeutic consequences
- Autoimmune diseases: principal mechanisms of autoimmunity; mechanisms of immune mediated tissue damage; control of autoimmunity and therapeutic consequences
