It was great to talk at #NHAD21 @VIBLifeSciences🧠 My unforgettable first time on a live conference stage!!
It was great to talk at #NHAD21 @VIBLifeSciences🧠 My unforgettable first time on a live conference stage!!
@nfattorelli from the @DeStrooperLab 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
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
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
Translating genetic risk of Alzheimer’s disease into mechanistic insight and drug targets. New review by Annerieke Sierksma, Valentina Escott-Price @UKDRI and @BStrooper @DeStrooperLab out in @ScienceMagazine today! science.sciencemag.org/content/370/65…
Congrats to @MancusoRenzo!
"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."

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. 😍

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
New preprint out De Strooper lab at @CBD_VIB with @VE_ZSU 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…
Novel Alzheimer risk genes determine the microglia response to amyloid‐β but not to TAU pathology. Latest findings of the @DeStrooperLab now out in (and on the cover of) @EmboMolMed. Congrats to the entire team! vib.be/en/news/Pages/…
