🧠 Today marks the start of Brain Awareness Week! At VIB, we have 3 centers that focus on various aspects of neuroscience: VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research, VIB Center for Molecular Neurology & NERF. Each works towards helping us understand this complex but wonderful organ. Learn more 👉 vibbio.tech/3VpYtH5 #BAW2024
PAPER ALERT!! Our latest work is out in Nature Neuroscience! We used humanised models to characterise in-depth the complex response of human microglia to Alzheimer's pathology, and we delved into the mechanisms and impact of genetics. nature.com/articles/s4159…
So happy to see our latest work published today in Nature Neuroscience 🥳 terrific team effort and loads of fun with shared first authors MINDlab and Anna Martínez at De Strooper Lab. Microglia enthusiasts, let's take a short journey through the paper 🧵⬇️ go.nature.com/4av0PZd
New research is crucial to understand & treat Alzheimer's, which is predicted to triple by 2050. A recent study led by De Strooper Lab (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research) and MINDlab (VIB Center for Molecular Neurology) sheds light on the role of microglia, immune cells in the brain, in Alzheimer's.👉 vibbio.tech/49c6pyL
🏆 Stichting Alzheimer Onderzoek - Fondation Recherche Alzheimer selected 15 research projects from VIB this year to invest a record amount of 3️⃣ million euros! Congratulations to all 👏 VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research VIB Center for Molecular Neurology IRC - VIB/UGent vibbio.tech/3TMq2aK
🥳Congratulations to our 4⃣grantees! Thanks to Stichting Alzheimer Onderzoek, they can continue enhancing our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases: ▶️ Helen Ray-Jones from Valeriya Malysheva Lab ▶️ Cristina Vicente from RosaRademakersLab Lab ▶️ MINDlab ▶️ Sleegers Lab
🖱️Our bioinformatician Zakaria Eddafir, PhD Student in the weckhuysen_team, took part in the Wilhelm Foundation Undiagnosed Hackathon last week and was featured in the national newspaper! Check out his story 👉blog.vib.be/cracking-the-c…
👏Congrats to Valeriya Malysheva for receiving an Alzheimer's Association New to the Field Research Grant to study the role of 3D chromatin in alternative isoform choice in health and dementia!
🙌Huge congrats to our very own Emanuela Pasciuto for receiving an European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant. Her work on how brain T cells react to environmental stimulation could lead to new gene therapy-based treatments for neurodevelopmental disorders.
"AI can already generate its own questions, but we need to remain conscious of what we’re creating." For the latest edition of #TheBrainMosaic conference, Valeriya Malysheva spoke with Prof. Bart De Strooper about the future of single-cell neuroscience 👉 vibbio.tech/3ZCdEPj
