🔥Hot off the press and in the press🔥Happy to share @karolinskainst press release of our @alzdemjournals paper where we present the first extensive postmartem validation of synaptic PET-tracer UCB-J in Alzheimer’s brain + some unexpected interesting findings! @miriamscarpa4

At #AAIC25? Come check out Danielle Luu's poster, today from 3:30-4 pm "Genetic Variants and Brain Tau" Levels at poster 106. We related genetic variants to PI-2620 tau PET in Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic White older adults 🧠🧬

@erzimmer @Avishek92 I missed out on this amazing conference … I hope you are having a great time.. hope to see you soon 😊

@AKumar_KI @Avishek92 I’m here and will be there! ✋🏻

If you are in beautiful Venice and attending the #EMBOastrocytes workshop then don’t miss the flash talk and poster # 79 of @Avishek92 tomorrow! He is going to present some cool findings from the lab about neuroinflammatory imaging biomarkers!

@andrealessa @alzassociation @goteborgsuni Amazing! Congratulations 🍾

I am very honored to have my work recognized by the AAIC Neuroscience Next! Thank you to all my mentors, colleagues, and friends who have been incredibly supportive along the way. @alzassociation @goteborgsuni

Grateful to all the funding agencies & @NBB_BrainBank

Finally, our studies also added support to the “Two wave model” of reactive astrogliosis in Parkinson’s disease by highlighting disease-stage–dependent dynamic changes in tracer binding in PD brains at the end stages of the disease.

🚨 New paper out 🚨 Extremely thrilled to the share the Karolinska news release of our 3rd publication in a row! news.ki.se/new-research-u… @filiparocha12 @Avishek92 @AlzheimrDement Mukesh

@andreia_rocha_ Haha.. double PhD 😂

@AKumar_KI I think I will have to ask to move to Sweden!

🚨 Open PhD Position 🚨 I am looking to hire a doctoral student for a fully funded PhD position focused on understanding the role of neuroinflammation and synaptic loss in Alzheimer’s disease and other proteinopathies with novel PET imaging biomarkers/kidoktorand.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo…

The position is based at the @CAR_Karolinska @karolinskainst and will be supported by an excellent team of co-supervisors: Prof. Taher Darreh-Shori , Prof. Henrik Zetterberg & Prof. @TharickAPascoal! Apply with the link or please share with your network😊

This is a great opportunity to learn about the AD research landscape in PA!!

Congratulations @miriamscarpa4 on this much needed study on UCB-J! This paper is the fruit of amazing team work and provide a complete snapshot of synaptic changes in PSP patients’ brains!

Extremely grateful to all the funding agencies @alzassociation @Demensforbundet @Alzheimerfonden (& several others) and @NBB_BrainBank

Key takeaway ‘In vivo UCB-J binding might not only reflect synaptic loss but also early synaptic dysfunction’

📢 Just Published! Happy to share the @karolinskainst news release of our recent study led by @miriamscarpa4 in @AlzheimrDement where we performed the first validation study of UCB-J in PSP patients’ brains! news.ki.se/new-study-shed…

We are pleased to announce the program for the University of Pittsburgh Hub of AAIC Neuroscience Next 2025, organized by our lab. Mark your calendars for Monday, February 24, 2025, and register now (bit.ly/AAICNN25PGH) to join us in Pittsburgh! This conference intends to bridge the gap between stakeholders, including researchers, patients, and policy makers. We look forward to a day of important advances and discussion!

Happy to receive the notification that our abstract Tracking neuroinflammation in Parkinsonian disorder with novel PET-biomarkers’ is accepted for Oral Presentation at @adpdnet 25 Looking forward to presenting this exciting data and Chairing the session @filiparocha12 @Avishek92
