Inside UVA with Neuroimmunologist Dr. John Lukens

from wtju Hosted by wtju

This week, President Ryan sits down with Dr. John Lukens, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at UVA. Dr. Lukens is an expert in neuroimmunology--his lab explores the immune pathways responsible for inflammation in the brain. The more we understand how these pathways work, the more we can target them with drugs and treatment regimens, potentially combatting neurological disorders earlier and more effectively. Dr. Lukens also discusses his philosophy of mentorship: lessons learns from his own advisors, highlighting individual student strengths and shoring up weaknesses, and celebrating spirit days both for fun and for important milestones.
