Neuroimmunology
Interface between the nervous system and the immune system
Neuroimmunology represents an interdisciplinary field investigating the dynamic, bidirectional interactions between the immune system and the central and peripheral nervous systems. Beyond classical immune-mediated neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, or autoimmune encephalitis, it is now evident that immune mechanisms contribute to virtually all neurological diseases. This includes neurodegeneration, stroke, and infections of the nervous system, as well as peripheral inflammatory conditions regulated by neuronal activity.
Germany hosts a strong and internationally recognized neuroimmunology community, deeply rooted in basic and clinical research and supported by numerous collaborative research initiatives. To foster exchange, collaboration, and innovation in this field and across disciplines, the German Society of Neuroimmunology (DGNIM e.V.) has been established with great support of the Gemeinnützige Hertie-Stiftung. The DGNIM provides a central platform to connect neuroimmunologists, immunologists, neurologists and neuroscientists aiming to advance mechanistic understanding, and promote novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches with broad implications to human health.
