Research Interests: Dr Fourrier's research investigates how inflammation contributes to emotional and cognitive disturbances in obesity, with a focus on TNF-α as a therapeutic target. She also examines nutritional interventions such as n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants in inflammatory conditions. Her current work at SAHMRI targets the interplay between the immune and lysosomal systems in Alzheimer's disease, aiming to restore microglial function through anti-inflammatory strategies and autophagy enhancement.
