Delphine Boche is an Associate Professor in Neuroimmunopathology within Medicine at the University of Southampton. Her research focuses on understanding the consequences of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in patients affected by neurological disease. She was the recipient of a European Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (2000) and of a MRC New Investigator Award (2006).

Her main research interest is to develop a greater understanding of the role of neuroinflammation in relation with ageing, neurological diseases and systemic inflammation, using the complementary approaches of human brain analysis and animal models. Her work is located at the junction between clinical neurodegenerative disease, human neuropathology and experimental neuroscience where she has developed an expertise in clinical neuroimmunopathology.
