Dr. Louise Ince completed her PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Manchester, where she studied the influence of circadian rhythms in glucocorticoid signaling on inflammatory responses in the lung. As a postdoc, she moved to the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich and the University of Geneva to research biological rhythms in adaptive immune function. Now a Research Scientist at The University of Texas at Austin, Louise is using her expertise in rhythmic immunology to investigate how changes in neuroimmune rhythms contribute to cognitive decline in aging and dementia.
