Looking forward to this meeting!!

The @NeuroPsychPIA is relaunching its Genomics Working Group: Multi-Omics 🧵⬇️

In Iran, a student harassed by her university’s morality police over her “improper” hijab didn’t back down. She turned her body into a protest, stripping to her underwear and marching through campus—defying a regime that constantly controls women’s bodies. Her act is a powerful reminder of Iranian women’s fight for freedom. Yes we use our bodies like weapons to fight back a regime that kills women for showing their hair. This happened at Tehran’s Science and Research University She has since been arrested by the authorities. Be her voice. #WomanLifeFreedom

@SheaJAndrews That is the start of many more!!!

The conference in which the Andrews Lab is represented by more than just me! #AAIC24

Great @FTDPIA session to start #AAIC24 ! Thanks to speakers and audience for an engaging Q&A session!

Just had an amazing #FTD PIA session today! The speakers gave such interesting talks. Big thanks to our chairs: Victoria Fernandez, Carmela Tartaglia and Maura Malpetti, and to our speakers: Amanda Bevis, Sterre de Boer, Indira Garcia Cordero, Irene Sintini and Rene Utianski.

I am excited to be presenting this year's @FTDPIA day #AAIC24. We will present the work of the last year and introduce the new team. Join us to discuss what interests you so we can all learn, collaborate and advance #FTD

@Seasaver So wrong!

Japanese whaling 'mothership' sets sail on first hunt. “Our biggest goal is to boost demand for whale meat and raise public awareness of it,” describing whaling as “part of Japanese people’s identity.” (AFP) Shintaro Maeda, mayor of Shimonoseki firstpost.com/explainers/wha…

The 13 edition of the Barcelona-Pittsburgh Conference has set the bar high for next editions. Thanks to all the sponsors, speakers, moderators, attendees, work team and collaborators. See you all in 2026! #BCNPIT24

📺Este domingo no os perdáis @cazadorcerebros en @la2_tve 🗣️Junto a otros grandes expertos en #demencia, hablaremos sobre #Alzheimer, prevención del deterioro cognitivo y nuevas terapias farmacológicas. ¡No os lo perdáis!

The cherry on the cake 😉 the presentation of @GeconeuP by Andrea Miguel, couldn’t be prouder of her work through this project! #genetic_counselling #neurodegeneration; And 🙏 to entire @AceAlzheimer (missing many in pic) who helped complete this project! #BCNPIT24

And we conclude the day with the key ingredient of the cake, neuropathology by 3 excellent scientists 👩‍🔬: @MaggieFlanagan & Ellen Gelpi @MedUni_Wien, referents of LATE & ABeta, moderated by @MarquieMarta; @AceAlzheimer #BCNPIT24

A little far from my usual science literature but highly informative the afternoon sessions on neuromodulation with Prof. Pascual-Leone @Harvard & @CBlancoDuque, followed by Neuroimaging with Prof. Villemagne @PittPsychiatry & @JuandoGispert; @AceAlzheimer #BCNPIT24

One thing I love about working at @AceAlzheimer is the commitment of its founders for the continued education of its professional team and generations to come! Prove is the @lluis_ltm award to senior high schoolers! 👩‍🏫🧬🧫👩‍🔬

Nothing is as simple as it seems, less #alzheimers, @alpimen72 @CECAD_ @Joris_Deelen @MPIAGE @mcomabellalopez @cemcat_em and Lefkos Middleton @imperialcollege have exposed the complex interplay of aging, genetics, microglia and inflammation @AceAlzheimer #BCNPIT24

This is definitely an exciting time to be doing research in #ADRD. Day2 #BCNPIT24 @AceAlzheimer starts with promising prospects for the biomarker field: TPD43, ptau217 and #NULISA with Anja Schneider @DZNE_en @TommyKakari & Michael Evans @AlamarBio

What a better way to conclude the day1 #BCNPIT24 @AceAlzheimer than the experience of Ben Winblad @karolinskainst, a life dedicated to #alzheimers with many achievements! From swedish mutation, on the front of disease modifiers, founder of IGAP later to be #AAIC & #EADC

And after hearing about Lecanemab, additional new treatments in the horizon by @brunovellas, Gerard Piñol @IRBLleida_Info and Melanie Shulman @biogen, @AceAlzheimer #BCNPIT24

Take off #BCNPIT24 with the TOPIC of this year…how to implement the new treatments in Europe, USA & globally @AceAlzheimer @MerceBoadaR @sudha_md @UTHealthSA Frank Jessen @DZNE_en
