🔬 Lab Spotlight: Dr. Aneesh T Veetil's Lab 🔬

Today, we’re highlighting the interesting research at the Chemical Biology and Neuroimmunology lab from TIFR-Hyd 🌟

Led by *Dr. Aneesh Tazhe Veetil*, the lab explores the innate immune cells residing in the brain i.e., *Microglia*!🧠
Using an integrated research approach, the lab focuses on design and development of new tools to study microglia, reprogramming the harmful microglial cells and synaptic modulation!✨

🔬 *Key Research Areas:*🔬

◻️ Exploring Microglia:
The lab works on the Design and development of new chemical and genetic tools for studying microglia and macrophages in vivo.🧠🔍

◻️ Roles of immune cells in living organisms:
To observe the real-time movements and roles of immune cells in living organisms, the lab utilizes advanced fluorescence microscopy and complete animal imaging methods.🔬🧬

◻️ Research models and techniques:
The lab employs 2D and 3D co-culture systems, iPSCs, human cerebral organoids, and mice as model systems to understand microglia, the innate immune cells residing in the brain.🧫🐭

◻️ Integrated research approach:
The lab merges techniques from chemistry, chemical biology, synthetic biology, immunology, and neuroscience, to explore and influence the role of microglial cells in both health and disease. 🔍📈
