🧠 The teams of MINDlab (VIB Center for Molecular Neurology) & De Strooper Lab (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research), with partners from J&J Innovative Medicine Belgium show how antisense nucleotides can target microglia in Alzheimer's disease! 👇 vibbio.tech/3JRHuGu

We were excited to join forces with MINDlab and De Strooper Lab, combining their fantastic xenotransplantation model with our epigenomic approaches, to deeply understand APOE-driven microglia regulation.

How amazing to work the Understanding Microglia-connecting genetic states to function FRS as an #AAIC24 ISTAART Ambassador and as a microglia enthusiast! 🧠💜 Excited for this session chaired by @MaluTansey and Oihane Uriarte Huarte!!

🙌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.

Amazing talks by Laura Fumagalli Miranda Lastra Osua and Paula Polanco at the International Society for Frontotemporal Dementias Conference 2024! It was great to share our latest research on C9orf72, TMEM106b and GRN in microglial biology in FTD and ALS! RosaRademakersLab VIB Center for Molecular Neurology VIB UAntwerpen

It was a great pleasure presenting our work on #C9orf72 #microglia at #iMND2024! Huge thanks to the organizers and @VIBConferences for such a fantastic meeting. Looking forward to the next one! MINDlab VIB Center for Molecular Neurology UAntwerpen VIB

Hi all! I am happy to announce that the lab has a new account with BlueSky! bsky.app/profile/mancus… I have also created a Microglia and Neuroinflammation Network where we can exchange information and debate. If you are interested please hit here: go.bsky.app/DT3Cp4A See ya!

Microglia community, let’s gather on #Bluesky 🦋 you can ask MINDlab to add you to the #Microglia starting pack to join the discussion 🧠

Excited to announce that I will start my lab at VIB-CMN early next year! If you are fascinated by how the immune system shapes the gut-brain axis in neurological diseases, and you think myeloid cells hold most of the secrets, check out our open positions below – or reach out!

Thanks for the fantastic support @VIB, VIB Center for Molecular Neurology, RosaRademakersLab , MINDlab , and many others, a great stimulating and vibrant research environment I am very excited to be part of.

Good times discussing all things #epigenetics and #microglia at our symposium with this awesome group: Jonas Neher, Susanne Kooistra, MINDlab. And enjoying the sun and science at #glia2025 in Marseille, while hoping that fires can be contained.
