In conversation with Michal Schwartz

As Nature Neuroscience celebrates its 25th anniversary, we are having conversations with both established leaders in the field and those earlier in their careers to discuss how the field has evolved and where it is heading. This month we are talking to Michal Schwartz at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, a neuroimmunologist and pioneer in the study of the role of the immune system in physiology and in diseases of the central nervous system. She is the winner of the 2023 Israel Prize in Life Sciences.
