Our review "Synaptopathy: presynaptic convergence in FTD and ALS" is out now in @Brain1878! Here, we discuss the recent evidence supporting presynaptic dysfunction as an early and convergent event in ALS/FTD pathology 🧠 @UKDRI @KingsIoPPN 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/brain/…

📢Introducing the brilliant research work of the UK DRI at King’s. The centre focuses on studying the molecular causes and looking for treatments for motor neuron disease and frontotemporal dementia. The UK DRI at King’s has: ⭐️Seven research teams ⭐️58 researchers ⭐️35 students ⭐️Four clinicians In this new video, Centre Director Jernej Ule (@ule_lab), Group Leader Sarah Marzi (@sj_marzi), and Centre Manager Tanisha Lewis explain the centre’s research and why they are proud to be part of the UK DRI at King’s.

It was a pleasure to take part in this project during my MSc at @UniofBath 🧠🧫 Great work from @KatyHole and everyone involved!

It's #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay today. Over 1500 people are diagnosed with motor neuron disease/ALS each year in the UK. At the UK DRI, we have a number of dedicated research teams working on MND/ALS. Hear about some of their recent developments ⬇️ 🧵 1/6

Our paper is finally out (my first published first author)! In a tau model, we saw changes in signal encoding in vivo in tandem with synapse and structure alterations. A full summary in the qt below or go read the paper if you’re interested! academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…

It was a great experience to be able to attend this course and gain new bioinformatics skills to support my dementia research. A big thanks to @EBItraining and @UKDRI!

FTD and ALS share overlapping genetics and pathologies. Clayton et al. summarise recent evidence suggesting that presynaptic dysfunction is an early and common event in both diseases, and could be a target for future disease-modifying therapies. tinyurl.com/mx8xpkh8

Happy @WomenScienceDay!!🥳 🎉 🙌 Don't miss our new feature with UK DRI Emerging Leader Dr Emma Clayton. In the piece, Dr Clayton discusses her career path, the importance of representation and her passion for public engagement👏 👉buff.ly/3OFgU6d #WomenInScience

This Sunday is International Day of Women and Girls in Science!👩‍🔬🔬🧠 To mark the occasion, we caught up with Dr Emma Clayton (UK DRI at @KingsIoPPN), to talk about her career journey from an internship with NASA(!) to her current research into ALS/FTD🤩👉buff.ly/3OFgU6d

We're thrilled to announce 4 new UK DRI Emerging Leaders: @SophieMorse20, @jojacksonhere, Dr Emma Clayton & Dr Philip Weston👏 🎉 🥳 The initiative supports exceptional ECRs on their journey to independence. Find out more about our new Emerging Leaders👉buff.ly/3FOgKV9

Looking for an exciting #PhD involving #synapses #RNAbindingproteins and #neurodegeneration then look at this fully funded studentship between myself and Dr Emma Clayton @KCL_MRCDTP @KingsIoPPN kcl-mrcdtp.com/project/synapt…

Wonderful group photo from the ALS and Related Motor Neuron Diseases Gordon Research Conference (also featuring the famous GRC 🐄)! @GordonConf #ALS #MND #GRC 🧠🧪⚕️🏔️🌞🌺🇨🇭

I had the amazing opportunity to attend the #ALS #GRC and share my work so far about synaptic dysfunction in TDP-43 #ALS and #FTD! 🧠 It was fantastic to meet so many experts in the field and learn more about their incredible research! 🔬

Great science and even better views. Is there a better way to network? @laura_huggon @SMizielinska @VanceLabKCL #GRC #ALS #Glacier3000
