Novel Alzheimer risk genes determine the microglia response to amyloid‐β but not to TAU pathology. Latest findings of the De Strooper Lab now out in (and on the cover of) EMBO Mol. Medicine. Congrats to the entire team! vib.be/en/news/Pages/…

New preprint out De Strooper lab at VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research with Zsuzsanna from our lab on how impaired adult hippocampal neurogenesis in Alzheimer’s disease is mediated by microRNA-132 deficiency and can be restored by microRNA-132 replacement #alzheimersdisease biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are looking for a postdoc to use spatial transcriptomics, in situ sequencing, and multiplexed proteomics to untangle the cellular response to #amyloid plaques and tangles in brains affected by or resilient to #Alzheimer’s disease. jobso.id/cp7x

I am super stoked 🥳 to have been part of this awesome work from Weit-ting Chen (first) and Bart de Strooper (last) and many others. It just come out, folks, check it out. 😍

"LifeTime has brought together scientists across fields – from biologists, to clinicians, data scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and physicists – to enable a much improved understanding of molecular mechanisms driving health and disease."

Congrats to MINDlab!

Translating genetic risk of Alzheimer’s disease into mechanistic insight and drug targets. New review by Annerieke Sierksma, Valentina Escott-Price UK Dementia Research Institute and Bart de strooper De Strooper Lab out in Science Magazine today! science.sciencemag.org/content/370/65…

In our series of firsts-since-covid: today we are hosting our *first* Methusalem lecture of 2021! Please join us at 11 AM for Liqun Luo's talk on the wiring specificity of neural circuits. More info: vib.be/events/methusa… Stanford University

Today is #WorldAlzheimersDay. Since VIB's inception, we've been working to better understand and treat this disease affecting millions across the globe. Explore how we continue to unravel the mysteries of Alzheimer's disease. #originofimpact #25yVIB 👉 bit.ly/3lPFqm6

Nicola Fattorelli from the De Strooper Lab takes the stage as the first selected speaker this morning to explain how to study human disease by transplanting iPSC-derived microglia into mouse brains. #NHAD21

It was great to talk at #NHAD21 VIB🧠 My unforgettable first time on a live conference stage!!
