Research Interests
- Oligodendroglial biology
- Remyelination
- Oligodendroglial interactions with immune cells
- Impact of aging on oligodendroglial properties and remyelination
Dr. Harrington’s research at OSU seeks to understand how oligodendroglia function in the setting of an inflammatory environment and in aging with the goal of identifying pathways in multiple sclerosis, both relapsing and progressive forms, that could be targeted to promote repair and remyelination.
