We are looking for talented postdocs to perform imaging of circadian glial and neuronal function in the deep brain. Please share! Please get in touch with me if you think you are a good fit! imperial.ac.uk/jobs/descripti…

Homeostatic #plasticity mechanisms that reduce cortical activity following overstimulation are dysregulated later in life, such that overstimulation results in synaptic strengthening, elevated activity, and cognitive impairment Carola Radulescu et al. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Hot off the press! It is great a pleasure and honour to collaborate with such a fantastic group to explore new faces of the clock. It ticks everywhere, how do we harness it for therapy?

Scientists Imperial Department of Brain Sciences have discovered that the circadian clock regulates axonal regeneration and repair. These findings pave the way for the use of clock-associated therapies and timed neurorehabilitation for people with nerve damage 🕰️

⏰ Our scientists have discovered that the circadian clock regulates axonal regeneration and repair. They found that DRG sensory neurons have a molecular clock which optimises axonal regeneration in a mouse sciatic nerve injury model. ⤵️ imperial.ac.uk/news/249733/fi…

Current starting point for postdoc salaries University of Oxford just over £36k - £2.7K under threshold. According to The Royal Society 62% of postdocs are non-UK nationals (5/6 in my lab). Two things: (i) postdocs are underpaid; (ii) UK science is screwed royalsociety.org/-/media/policy…

#SRBR2024, or the only way to get summer in UK😉: on our way!

Very excited to be joining Imperial Department of Brain Sciences as an Edmond Safra Fellow in July 🥳🧠🧪 Come and join me on this fun adventure with a 3.5year fully-funded PhD investigating microglia in Parkinson's. Deadline is the 17th of June findaphd.com/phds/project/t…

We are THRILLED to have been ranked 2nd in the world and 1st in the UK and Europe in this year's QS QS World University Rankings! 🎊🥳 #QSWUR Thank you to everyone in #OurImperial community for making this result possible! 💙

In our Dementia Manifesto published this week, we called for “cross-govt policy to support & grow the dementia research workforce.” #DementiaCoalition This includes immigration policy. We must ensure the UK is an attractive place to conduct research👇

Introducing our next #UKDRIKeyQuestions project! 🙌 Marco Brancaccio (UK DRI at Imperial) & Dr Julija Krupic (UK DRI at UCL) are looking at how impairments in the brain's internal clock and memory come together in Alzheimer's 💭 ⏰ ⬇️ 🧵 1/4
