About Our Lab
The Krukowski Lab believes that diversity is essential to fostering creativity and innovation. We welcome and encourage trainees and scientists who are from underrepresented minorities (URM) to join our lab. Our lab works to provide an inclusive training environment that values and supports our peers who are women, immigrants, LGBTQI+, people with disabilities, and Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC).
If you are interested in joining, drop us a note!

Research Interests: As a neuroimmunologist, my scientific career has focused on understanding complex, dynamic and bidirectional interactions between the immune and nervous systems. I investigate how disruptions in these interactions can underscore various pathological states including stress, neuropathy, traumatic brain injury and aging.
Fun Fact: I love to travel (just in my home these days), drink wine, and laugh with my daughter!
