More than just making amyloid What if mutations in PSEN1 also predispose inflammation. We asked if Alzheimer's disease mutations affect cytokine signalling using stem cell derived astrocytes. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @WrayLabUCL @AlzSocResearch 🧵/6

I'm excited for whoever will employ @kittybmurphy - she's an incredible computational geneticist and will be the most amazing addition to any team she joins. Super proud to see this superstar student move on and develop her academic career 🥰

Anyone want to donate to my brother and this amazing cause? I've seen a few of his sporting endeavours and this will not be pretty...

💡Closing soon: Opportunity for a Research Fellow to join Dr Frances Wiseman's lab (UK DRI at UCL), for an interesting proteomic-neuropathology project The Wiseman lab aims to understand the development of Alzheimers in individuals who have Down syndrome👉buff.ly/3Rv1oM0

@SelinaWray Hope you don’t feel too bad!

Today is #WorldAlzheimersDay @SelinaWray Senior Research Fellow for @AlzResearchUK will be at NSLive2023. Using stem cell technology, we can create 'mini brains' in the lab from skin cells of people with dementia, to help understand the disease better bit.ly/3LvUm6s

Sumi and I are hiking a WHOLE marathon to raise funds for critical #alzheimersdisease research on Sept 9th! Help us reach our fundraising goals: justgiving.com/team/dridivas 🥾🥰 The senior member of this team is going to need encouragement - playlist suggestions welcomed!!

Thrilled to see our publication online! Single nuclei detection of cryptic exons in C9orf72 ALS & FTD frontal cortex! A great collaboration between the Sattler & Van Keuren-Jensen labs Check it out here link.springer.com/article/10.100…

People at #AAIC23 #AAIC2023 do you wanna know what I do with all of these antibodies??🔬 Come to poster P4-053 to find out!🧠Calling all the intraneuronal amyloids fans🤩 #imagingmasscytometry @Standard_BioT @imperialcollege @UKDRI

We are recruiting a lab manager! If interested in helping shape a growing lab and directly contribute to molecular and cellular translational research in ALS, in London, please apply below: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

I recently had a grant rejected, with one of the reasons being that a reviewer questioned my productivity over my post-doc thus far. 🧵1/5 nature.com/articles/d4158…

Stoked for the ARUK London Network public event on Saturday 10th June. Please come and learn about the dementia research that is going on around London. All ages and backgrounds welcome! Sign up at this link or just turn up on the day!eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

A little run to train for the big 42km walk on 02.06.23. Thank you if you have already supported us by sharing our page, talking to others about our challenge, or by donating. Please see our story link and keep supporting us #fundraising #AlzheimersSociety justgiving.com/team/astepclos…

Excellent article demonstrating the precarious position of brain banks in the UK. More funding is desperately needed. BBC News - Bristol centre storing brains for dementia research could shut bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

This is the case for all UK brain banks. Many researchers want to use the amazing resources that brain banks have for vital research. These resources cost money to run yet funding agencies and researchers think they can run on thin air!! #pathologymatters

Interested in senescence? Want to know if senescence occurs in human brain cells? Please come to my poster at #247, in ADPD2023, Gothenburg, Sweden. #ADPD2023 @adpdnet @UKDRI @ImperialBrains

Amyloid from microglia. Say whaaat? Looking forward to presenting at #ADPD2023 on Friday morning at 9:40. Come and hear more about about British dementia!

Looking forward to presenting a poster from my group on work led by @ssiddiqi9 about the distribution of SV2a at synapses @adpdnet #ADPD2023...spoiler alert: it's not as ubiquitously expressed as everyone thinks! ➡️ poster board 310 today

@SelinaWray The extra pint will fuel tomorrows PB😉

@alessia_neuro @690ctk Omg it literally has your cortical layer ablations depicted on there! 🔥

How is the post-doc going...? 💻😵‍💫 Thanks to our in-house artist @690ctk, such a realistic depiction! 🤩
