This week is FTD awareness week - the GENFI study has now reached 1000 participants and is dedicated to working towards a cure for frontotemporal dementia @ftdtalk ⁦Jon Rohrer⁩ #endftd

The team working on this innovative approach to diagnosing Parkinson’s includes Dr. Jiyan Ma, a professor in Van Andel Institute's Center for Neurodegenerative Science. ow.ly/xVkt50wEJ7D

Always great to follow one of John-Paul Taylor's talks. All the "required reading" for my talk and much more. Such a great presentation!

We have a postdoctoral position open in the lab. Please be in touch if interested. Excellent support and great place to live. Postdoctoral Fellow - Dopaminergic Neurodegeneration neurojobs.sfn.org/jobs/13036616/…

Congratulations to Doctor Tatiana Orme from the GBLab for an excellent viva!

Very proud of Tatiana Orme for passing her PhD viva with flying colors! Congratulations!! First PhD from the lab!

(1/2) Very pleased to share the published proof of my review "Somatic mutations in neurodegeneration: An update" in Neurobiology of Disease sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We've just opened a postdoc position to work on the genetic basis of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. Come and join us in beautiful #Michigan bit.ly/335lxQ0 ISTAART Heather Snyder, PhD #AAIC20

A very thorough & useful review of the genetics of synucleins (like #Parkinsons-associated alpha synuclein) in the context of neurodegenerative conditions, from @josetb Rita Guerreiro & Van Andel Institute (VAI) colleagues link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Congratulations Dr Mike Lee (UMN Medical School) on this great achievement, for a project that includes Dr Darren Moore and Dr Jose Bras (GBLab) from Van Andel Institute (VAI)! Providing hope for #Parkinson disease. Journal of Parkinson's Disease WPC 2026 The Science of Parkinson's

“Many people who have relatives with [Alzheimer's] never develop the disease, and many without a family history of the disease do develop it." Dr. Rita Guerreiro of GBLab is featured in this Discover Magazine article about #Alzheimers genetic precursors discovermagazine.com/health/if-a-pa…

First Alzheimer's Association ISTAART Journal Club of 2021 this Thursday Jan 7th! Join Ashley Bolte and I to discuss recent papers published in @nature and Science Magazine and meet the authors! Register here: alz.org/research-webin…

I’m so encouraged that the crucial topic of diversity in genetic studies is gaining momentum. Our review Brain with Rita Guerreiro @josetb GBLab Van Andel Institute (VAI) is now online! This work would not be possible without the support of NIH #FirstFirstAuthor academic.oup.com/brain/advance-…

Our lab 🇺🇸 Van Andel Institute (VAI) has multiple positions for 🇺🇦#Ukraine lab technicians, geneticists, bioinformaticians, data scientists, and computational biologists at any career level. Please RT #ScienceForUkraine 🇺🇦 #ScienceForUkraine
