Daniel Cohn trained as a behavioural neuroscientist and with experience in Psychoneuroimmunology, has joined Dr. Jessica Teeling’s Research Group in 2016 to work on a project related to the use of antibodies on neuroinflammation. Career history 2016-present: Research Technician. University of Southampton, UK. 2010-2015: Postdoctoral fellow, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. 2013-2014: Postdoctoral fellow, La Trobe University, Australia. Academic qualifications 2004-2009: PhD in Psychoneuroimmunology, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

During my PhD I have studied the relationship between sickness behaviour (behavioural changes induced by acute inflammation and infection) and social dominance behaviour in mice. As a postdoctoral fellow, I have researched on depressive-like behaviours induced by immune activation in a socially challenging environment. The role of the orexinergic system and social dominance on fever response was also investigated. In the University of Southampton I am investigating the potential use of engineered antibodies in neuroinflammatory states.
