Exciting news! Yesterday, we were honored to receive a generous grant from Stichting Alzheimer Onderzoek! This grant is a crucial step forward for our Alzheimer's research as we'll be delving into the intricacies of the ABCA7 gene, a risk factor in AD 🧠🧬

After following the online session for quite some time, I’m looking forward to presenting our upcoming preprint at the Cambridge RNA Club!! 🧬

Today is the day folks, RNA Club! 🤩 We are looking forward to virtually hosting Jasper Verwilt and jp at 5 pm BST for some RNA discussions. Thank you to our sponsors The RNA Society and Lexogen! If you need more RNA in your life please sign up to our mailing list. Link in the bio!

📌Preprint alert! Can naked extracellular RNA enter cells? Can it escape from endosomes into the cytosol? Can naked extracellular mRNAs be translated if not encapsulated in EVs or LNPs? Why do we have so many RNases in the blood? 🤔 A thread 🧵🪡 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The project that sparked my love for RNA at ETH Zürich is now revealing its first secrets. Very exciting and major effort by Marco La Fortezza! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Attended the book presentation of Barbara Ceuleers’ book ‘Doodgewoon’ and the following ‘euthanasia at dementia’ debate. Extremely touching words on the brave choice her dad was forced to make when faced with Alzheimer’s, followed by a rather sobering political debate…

=>F*I*N*A*L*L*Y we did it! Nanopore Research Day Antwerp<= uantwerpen.be/en/conferences… Registraiton and abstract submission open (limited place!!!) See you there? UAntwerpen VIB VIB Center for Molecular Neurology Oxford Nanopore

Nanopore made a vape #LC24

Do not miss super exciting Antwerp Nanopore day ! Register, participate, join us ! -->uantwerpen.be/en/conferences…

Nanopore day in Antwerp (27/9) Join us!

Very happy to see our new paper on our new tool for comprehensive analysis of single-cell RNA long-reads, 𝙨𝙘𝙮𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙚𝙧, published! 🧬 Paper: academic.oup.com/bioinformatics… GitHub: github.com/derijkp/scywal… (A bit late but just in time for Nanopore Research Day Antwerp today! 😊)

The last few days, one of our Ph.D. students Celeste Laureyssen presented a poster on her research at ECDO Conference focusing on “Cell Death at the Crossroads of Neurodegeneration and Cancer". Stay tuned for the follow-up paper soon to be published! 🥳🧐#ECDO2024

Talking long reads in Uppsala! Find the ever-enthusiastic [email protected] at his poster where he will draw you into the world of differential isoform usage in AD! 🧠🧬 #LRUA24

We are excited to share that our new paper, led by Celeste Laureyssen (Celeste Laureyssen), is now published in Acta Neuropathologica and available online!🧠🧬 Check out our new publication here: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Your first first-author is always special 😊 Congrats!

What the **** ! Such an amazing opportunity to present our research to a crowd of amazingly smart people in a mind-blowing venue at LRUA in Uppsala 🇸🇪 What a HIT this ‘assembly’ was! 🧬 #LRUA24

A bit late to the party, but [email protected] and Celeste Laureyssen presented their wonderful research on a very successful first UAntwerp Nanopore Day some weeks ago! See you next time!

🤝Marieke Vromman ⭕️🧬 Very happy to share that our review on extracellular circRNAs is now out in WIREs RNA! We summarize the little that is known, navigate their daunting literature, and dive into hypotheses on their extracellular existence! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/T…
