Discover the surprising link between a smoothie🥤and #AlzheimersDisease 🧠 as Lara De Deyn (VIB Center for Molecular Neurology) provides an eye-opening explanation 👇

Do not miss this opportunity to join an AMAZING group!!

⚠️If you think you don’t have enough on your CV to be selected, think again! The application requires only a one-page personal statement, so that the selection is not inherently skewed towards the most skilled/experienced 🔬🧪 APPLY by March 1st‼️

Please hold the dates September 25-27, 2024 for another amazing Neuroimmunology meeting (to be held Test Account). IdoAmitLab and I have put an amazing list of speakers together. After inviting 26 speakers based on merit only we realized we need to check for gender balance. And

Hi all, VIB (with our help) is organizing bioinf and analysis trainings (High-Quality Genome Assembly with Long-Read Technology: shorturl.at/flvNZ) and Variant and structural variant analysis using long-read data (shorturl.at/DKOR9) with still some tickets available.

A team led by Prof Bart De Strooper (UK DRI at UCL & VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research) has transplanted human microglia into mouse brains to study how the cells respond to amyloid plaques in #Alzheimers🧠 The findings could have implications for future treatments👉buff.ly/3TT7BCI

Fantastic resource for the field. Looking forward to exploring the open source dataset!

The 1st #VIBSeminar24 session is all about computational biology and AI. The new VIB.AI center uses ML, AI, and computational bio to untangle the molecular basis of life, the Data Core handles big data & the Spatial Catalyst combines these insights in 3D 'maps'.

👇Our paper is now peer-reviewed and published in eLife - the journal! We've also added a new case study on a Visium dataset of mouse melanoma. 📄 Read here: elifesciences.org/articles/88431 💻 GitHub repo: github.com/saeyslab/spotl…

📡 Scientists from The Francis Crick Institute, UK Dementia Research Institute and the Bart De Strooper Lab at VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research discovered how communication between support cells in the brain alters signals between nerve cells in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease ➡️ tinyurl.com/mallach2024

🙌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.

Our very first lab Dinner NIM lab A lot of fun and great food! I am proud of this amazing Team!

We had an amazing center day last week filled with scientific achievements, community updates, and some exciting announcements for 2025✨ Congratulations to the winners of our Bio-imaging contest! Their microscopy masterworks can soon be admired in our center hallways 🎨🔬
