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 University of Adelaide, with a particular interest in the bidirectional relationship between psychological states and immune responses.
 
My research examines how psychological factors shape immune responses to injury and infection, and how immune activation, in turn, influences brain function and behaviour. I am currently investigating the complex interactions between the immune and nervous systems, with the long-term aim of helping develop wearable, host-centred monitoring approaches for the earliest possible detection of exposure to biological threats.
