neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), calculated as a simple ratio between the neutrophil and lymphocyte counts measured in peripheral blood, is a biomarker which reflects the balance between two aspects of the immune system: acute and chronic inflammation (as indicated by the neutrophil count) and adaptive immunity (lymphocyte count). 

I work as a Research Officer within the MND Association to help organise the International Symposium and communicating the latest updates of MND research across our social media platforms. I graduated with a master's degree in Neuroscience from Cardiff University in 2023. I have previously supported the awareness of Fragile X syndrome within the UK.
