The Microglia Research Consortium

The Microglia Research Consortium is a collaborative organization focused on studying microglia—immune cells in the brain that help protect and maintain neural health. Their goal is to understand how microglia contribute to brain development, function, and disease. By bringing together scientists and researchers, the consortium advances knowledge about conditions like Alzheimer’s, autism, and neurodegeneration. This research can lead to better diagnostics and therapies, ultimately improving brain health. The consortium promotes shared knowledge, innovation, and collaboration to unlock the complexities of microglia’s roles in the nervous system.
