Mr Michail Laoumtzis
Higher Degree by Research Candidate
School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences
College of Health
I am a PhD candidate in the Neuroimmunopharmacology Group at the Adelaide University, with a particular interest in the bidirectional relationship between psychological states and immune responses.
My research examines how immune responses to injury and infection influence brain electrophysiology and behaviour, with the long-term aim of contributing to the development of wearable, host-centred monitoring approaches for the earliest possible detection of exposure to biological threats.
