Very honoured to have been included in this latest cohort of CAN and CIHR-INMHA Brain Star awardees! Congratulations to all of the other winners!

Continued learning, sociability, and exercise promote resilience to memory impairment in AD These factors also increase the activity of the RSC, an early site of dysfunction in AD Here we perform an RSC deep-dive to examine this interaction (PV and PNNs matter!) www.jneurosci.org/content/46/9...

New review building on findings from my MSc thesis! Here we discuss the role of dopamine in overcoming boundary conditions for memory reconsolidation. doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

A little late posting this, but I defended my PhD thesis earlier this year! Big thanks to Jonathan Epp for his mentorship and support over the years - I can’t recommend his lab enough 🇨🇦 Also very excited to share that I’ve started a postdoc at @inmed.bsky.social with Rosa Cossart! 🇫🇷

As our graduate program deadline approaches, we are recruiting motivated students to join our team. See details below:

My first paper in the Sargin Lab 🥳 so grateful to have been able to work on this project @deryasargin.bsky.social @dterstege.bsky.social @jonathanepp.bsky.social

A research team led by Dr. Jonathan Epp and Dr. Derya Sargin at the University of Calgary, funded by Brain Canada and Women’s Brain Health Initiative (WBHI), has identified a promising target for new Alzheimer’s disease treatments. bit.ly/45atSCf

Fantastic new paper on Alzheimer's Disease from my colleague @deryasargin.bsky.social and her team! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Female brain holds the key to understanding Alzheimer’s disease. Epp-Sargin lab collaboration led by @dterstege.bsky.social featuring @liisagalea.bsky.social is out in Science Advances. We uncover the mechanisms that make females more vulnerable to Alzheimer’s - in mouse models and human brains 🧠

🚨New paper from the Epp and Sargin Labs!🚨 We identified early sex- and region-specific impairments to parvalbumin interneurons (PV-INs) during Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) pathogenesis www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Simplified highlights below: 🧵/15

The new issue of Science Advances (open-access) has multiple papers on women's health. These 2 are related to menopause, hormone replacement and brain health www.science.org/toc/sciadv/c...

Our work on the effect of SSRIs on brain metabolic activity, tau levels and cognition is out. Another study led by amazing-Dylan Terstege (now Dr. Terstege). alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
