research

Zipp's research area is neuroimmunology , i.e. inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) . Her focus is on multiple sclerosis (MS) , an autoimmune disease of the CNS in which nerve cells and other body cells are attacked by the body's own immune cells. She investigates how the immune and nervous systems interact in these diseases and what options there are for immune regulation in order to develop therapeutic approaches. In addition, Zipp is also investigating which biomarkers can be used to record MS disease and which genetic factors influence the disease.
