David W. McGavern

David W. McGavern is a scientist specializing in neuroimmunology, the study of how the immune system interacts with the nervous system. His research focuses on understanding how immune responses can both protect and damage the brain and spinal cord, particularly in conditions like multiple sclerosis and viral infections of the nervous system. By uncovering these mechanisms, McGavern aims to develop better treatments for neurological diseases involving immune system involvement. His work combines advanced laboratory techniques with a focus on translating findings into therapies that can improve patient outcomes.
