Amazing 1st day at @IVBM2024 in Amsterdam. If you are interested in brain pericytes come to my poster (20.393) tomorrow :).

It is our great pleasure to introduce you to our newest full-time lab member, *Louis the duck* 🐥 He is already working hard in the lab, a great teammate! 😄 @Conasaurus1 @AudreyChagnot @pichaelmichael_ @DanyJaimeGarcia @DStefancova @KKLaing @fialovanel

We're supporting Alzheimer’s Research UK and their search to find a cure for dementia. Research is our only chance of stopping dementia in its tracks. Together we will get there, please join us.🧡 #ForACure walk.alzheimersresearchuk.org/st/138/t

Our latest work is out on BioRxiv 🤩 If you're interested in pericytes, cell migration on patterns or physical modeling, this one is for you !

Happy 3-year anniversary to us! 🎉🥳🤩

Exciting times in the lab! 🤩 @DStefancova and our stellar team of scientists are uncovering the impact of CNS capillary pericyte loss on vascular and brain functions in mice 🐭🧲🧠 Exciting data is in the works and coming your way soon, stay tuned! 😃

I kicked off #16DaysOfActivism in Slovakia by discussing gender-based violence with high school students. Empowering girls & boys to become agents of change, build healthy relationships, recognize and tackle online or physical psychological and sexual abuse in their relationships is crucial to #EndViolenceAgainstWomen. Let’s bring together women & men from different parts of our society, including education, culture, healthcare, public services but also diplomacy to join forces and work together to end gender-based violence. #OrangeTheWorld

Exciting from @AudreyChagnot and @AxL_Montagne

Dementia can affect anyone. It doesn’t discriminate. This Christmas, @stephenfry helps us tell a story of what Christmas would be like if Santa had Alzheimer’s, the most common cause of dementia. Together we can end the heartbreak of dementia. Share #ForACure.

🌍 Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, and as a PhD student and someone who lives with anxiety, I urge everyone to prioritize your mental well-being 💖.Whether at home or work, a supportive environment makes a difference. Grateful for my partner and Montagne Lab family🧠✨.

My first #FluorescenceFriday is a glimpse into the vasculature of an adult zebrafish 🧠 with blood vessels labelled in red and pericytes in cyan.

Fantastic session on resilience in research from @sj_marzi, @isaacs_adrian & @maketimecountuk👏 Some super useful nuggets of advice on how to deal with failure & cultivate resilience🙌

In beautiful Brighton for this year's #connectome with @UKDRI and most of the @MontagneLab lab Come see out posters with @DStefancova and myself :)

#PostdocAppreciationWeek 🎉 Immensely grateful to our fantastic postdocs @Conasaurus1 & @AudreyChagnot for their hard work! 💪🏻 Stay tuned because these two are truly cooking some very nice stories 🤩

You nailed it @DanyJaimeGarcia 👏🏻🤩 It took a wee bit more time than expected 😉 but the end result is worth it, an unique and very useful piece for the vascular aficionados out there! 🧠😍
