Andras is interested in the adaptive changes in glia-neuron interactions following remote axonal insults, such as axotomy and demyelination. The particular focus is how endogenous cortical/gray matter astrocytes and stem cells responding to such cues would influence synaptic plasticity and neuronal integrity. His work involves a comparative analysis of molecules influencing synaptic maturation and neuronal survival in both animal and co-culture model systems. A more detailed understanding of these mechanisms may provide new alternative neuroprotective therapeutic targets for neurological disorders with a particular relevance to neurodegenerative conditions and chronic demyelinating diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. He has several collaborations with Cambridge based laboratories and is also keen on progressing towards translational strategies.
