📢 Synapse vulnerability and resilience underlying Alzheimer’s disease - new article by Prof Karen Duff and Dr Raquel Taddei of UK DRI at UCL. Full details: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S23…
Today @SumiBez and Eliona Tsefou are the lab talking to the public about our research and what we are doing to find a #cure for #dementia. Come and join us at the @AlzResearchUK London Network #OpenDay
Great work and talk on all things Tau biology in neurodegeneration and dementia at #UCLNeuroscienceSymposium @rco_slms_ucl @Duff_Lab @UCLBrainScience @UCLIoN @UKDRI
Congrats to Prof Karen Duff (@Duff_Lab) who is heading up a major new UK DRI Grand Challenge project!👏 The multi-disciplinary 'dream team' of researchers aim to tackle the huge challenge of understanding what's going on in the brain in early Alzheimer's👉buff.ly/3IEOINq
I'm finally hiring to the newly-established Fowler Lab in Oxford! 👩🔬 Drop me a line if you're interested in EVs, tau, proteomics, and super-resolution microscopy! 2-yr RA (corehr.com) and 3-yr Postdoc (corehr.com) positions available! #phd #science #jobs
🚨 Looking for a new role for the new year? We're recruiting for an experienced Centre Manager for the UK DRI at UCL! This is a key strategic & operational leadership post ensuring effective day-to-day execution & running of the Centre & projects👉buff.ly/473MfpB
📢Exciting opportunity @CBD_VIB They're recruiting PhD candidates👉 cbd.sites.vib.be/en/career/phd-…🧠
We are recruiting! 👇🏽👇🏽
Our very own @SumiBez giving a GREAT talk on all the cell model systems we are using in the lab to study tau and neurodegeneration at the @ARUKscientist London network technical showcase today
This week, we're celebrating the brilliant scientists who make progress in #Alzheimers research possible🧠 🙌 Meet @mathieubourdenx (@Duff_Lab, UK DRI at @ucl), whose research aims to understand how the brain ages. #WorldAlzheimersMonth #FillingTheGaps #PostdocAppreciationWeek
Come and join!
Sumi and I are hiking a WHOLE marathon to raise funds for critical #alzheimersdisease research on Sept 9th! Help us reach our fundraising goals: justgiving.com/team/dridivas 🥾🥰 The senior member of this team is going to need encouragement - playlist suggestions welcomed!!
🚨cool project on the structure of #tau on #cryoET!!! If you have experience in EM-level #structuralbiology and interested in applying it to new interesting models, get in touch with us here or email me ukdri.ac.uk/team/karen-duff to work at the @UKDRI
Great day at the #uclneurodomain @ucl where @MarisaJEdmonds did an amazing job presenting her Master’s project work and showing some great science! Well done! @slfwlr @UKDRI
