Anshu Agrawal

Building connections between disciplines, Anshu Agrawal explores the intricate interplay between immunology and neurodegenerative diseases. As a Professor In Residence at the School of Medicine, University of California, Irvine, he delves into the peripheral immune mechanisms that contribute to the etiology of Alzheimer's disease. His work is pivotal in understanding how aging impacts immune responses, particularly through the lens of dendritic cells. Dr. Agrawal's research is characterized by its interdisciplinary approach, bridging gaps between aging, immunology, and neurodegenerative disorders. His extensive publications have significantly contributed to the scientific community's understanding of how immune system alterations can influence the progression of Alzheimer's disease. By focusing on dendritic cells, he has shed light on their role in immune regulation and their potential as therapeutic targets. In addition to his research, Dr. Agrawal is dedicated to mentoring the next generation of scientists. He is actively involved in guiding students and researchers, fostering an environment of curiosity and innovation. His commitment to education and research excellence makes him a respected figure in his field, continually pushing the boundaries of what is known about the immune system's role in aging and disease.
