The Van Haren Lab elucidates factors that confer metabolic resilience and vulnerability in the developing human brain and immune system. Our goal is to help more children safely surmount the neurometabolic hurdle of childhood. We investigate fundamental questions relating to metabolism of human blood and brain by centering our investigations around structured human trials. We employ and harmonize an innovative mix of experimental models that yield complementary clinical, radiologic, and multi-omic data. Two distinct inflammatory demyelinating disorders serve as our primary disease models: adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) & multiple sclerosis (MS). These two disorders offer complementary perspectives on metabolism and inflammation in the developing and mature brain.
