Welcome to the Verstreken group at VIB-KU Leuven. We're using machine interfaces, human neurons and fruit flies to understand neurodegenerative disease.










✨🚀 We're delighted and proud to share that @CBD_VIB has 3 new @MSCActions fellows! Congratulations to Marieke Hoekstra (@Verstreken_Lab), Célia Lentin (@VanderhaeghenP2), Lars Borm (@steinaerts) and all the other fellows 🎉 Find out more ➡️ cbd.sites.vib.be/en#/news/vib-w…

🐹🔬 @Verstreken_Lab received a @czi award to study the mechanisms of synapse loss and recovery in hamsters, with the goal of gaining insights into how this could be mitigated in human neurodegenerative disorders. Find out more ↘️ tinyurl.com/czihamster
