Myrthe Mampay

Myrthe Mampay is a postdoctoral researcher at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), affiliated with the Brussels Center for Immunology and the Basic (bio)medical sciences department. Her work focuses on neuroimmunology, microglia biology, and immune-tumor interactions in 3D co-culture models.

• Role: Researcher at VUB
• Key Collaborations: Part of IOFCOFUN1 project (2021–2025) with multiple international partners.

Her research explores neuroinflammation, neuronal plasticity, and immune cell dynamics in brain diseases. She employs advanced models like iPSC-derived microglia and co-culture systems to study therapeutic potentials. Her publications analyze immune-tumor interactions, monocyte-microglia replacement, and transcriptional silencer elements in healthy aging.

Recent trends in her work emphasize macrophage plasticity, neurodegenerative disease mechanisms, and quantitative frameworks for immune-tumor studies, with a focus on Immunity and Communications Biology journals.
