Massive congratulations to @PaulineVessiere for delivering a brilliant talk today at #BNA2025 on periphery-to-brain spread of aSyn!

aSyn and the Immune System: Discussion and Questions at #Synuclein2025 #Syn2025 #Cambridge2025

What a great way to mark #WorldParkinsonsDay this morning at @Synuclein215707 Thanks to everyone who got up early to run!

Enormous thanks and congratulations to our Co-Chairs Maria Grazia Spillantini and @GeorgeTofaris 👏👏👏 #Synuclein2025 #Syn2025 #Cambridge2025

Our lab was proudly represented at the Synuclein Meeting 2025 with Prof. M.G Spillantini, Dr. Francesca Longhena, and @PaulineVessiere presenting on aSyn history, spreading, and a novel therapeutic compound. Thanks to all speakers, poster presenters, and attendees! #Synuclein2025

Many congratulations to @SpillantiniLab for her Lifetime achievement award at #sfn24. Very richly deserved! All of us @BritishNeuro send congratulations 🙌 🥂

This week, @SfNtweets revealed the recipients of its 2024 awards. We're thrilled to announce that three of them are BNA members @L_andreae @SpillantiniLab @EmmaYhnell - we're so proud that their accomplishments have gained international recognition! 🏆🏆🏆 bna.org.uk/mediacentre/ne…

We are thrilled to announce that Professor Spillantini has been elected as a member of @EMBO! 👏 cam.ac.uk/stories/EMBO-2…

It’s Day 3 of exciting new science at #ADPD2024! Prof. Spillantini gave a talk yesterday on our new mouse models expressing synuclein in gut and nasal epithelium. Come check out poster 0483 by our PhD student @PaulineVessiere on the effect of LRRK2 inhibition in these models.

What a great time with @SpillantiniLab and @Lab_Coleman at Cambridge! Maria told us the story of how she found alpha-synuclein to be a key component of Lewy bodies (1st pic in front of microscope room where she made the discovery).

Are you interested in mitochondria and Parkinson's disease? We have an open 3 year postdoc position! Find more info and apply until the 29th of August here: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/38753/

We have an open postdoc position as part of the ASAP team to work on understanding the spread of alpha-synuclein. Apply until the 16th of August here: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/42199/

We were excited that Professor Spillantini co-chaired and gave a talk during an all female session at the #ADPD2023 today! #WomenInScience

We are recruiting! Two postdoc positions are available in our lab to work on mitochondrial DNA in PD or spreading of alpha-synuclein from the gut. Find out more here: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/38753/ and here: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/40057/

We are looking for a postdoc to join our team to work on mitochondrial DNA mutations. Find out more here jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/38753/ and apply by 27th of January.

We're excited to announce that our new paper on the use of RT-QuIC to detect alpha-synuclein in saliva in PD has been published. Congratulations Giorgio Vivacqua! …mentdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/md…

We have an open position for a Research Associate to work on an exciting new project on "Single Cell Analysis and Mitochondrial Ageing". Please find out more here: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/37394/ and apply by 26th October.

Very happy to have contributed to this collaborative paper with @SjorsScheres and @MichelGoed labs! Congratulations to all the authors, including our @mehtapbacioglu👏

Excited to attend #ADPD2022 this week! Prof. Spillantini presented on interactions of neurons and glial cells in neurodegenerative diseases yesterday. Come visit us at our posters from PhD students Janine Brandes and Helen Dakin (boards 300 and 5).
