About Fujinami Lab
Dr. Fujinami investigates animal models for human disease. Using these models he investigate ways to modulate the disease. The disease he mainly studies is multiple sclerosis. He has genetically engineered a virus that will protect mice from getting a multiple sclerosis-like disease. Recently he expanded his studies to include studying the immune response to various viruses and “self” proteins in individuals with autism. He is also establishing a new virus induced model for epilepsy and examining how the innate immune response to the virus infection contributes to seizures.
