Day 2 of the CCAD Reunion Conference did not disappoint! Great conversations, poster sessions, and a fantastic group of scientists. #CCAD2025 #AlzheimersResearch #NewVisionResearch @malutansey.bsky.social @panosroussos.bsky.social @bobalhill.bsky.social @hoppzor.bsky.social @bucklr01.bsky.social

Fantastic talks at #CCAD2025 Reunion Conference! @sinaibrain.bsky.social @jmcastell.bsky.social, Panos Roussos and Kuan-Lin Huang

The best way to judge the impact of the field’s investment is to ask “where are they now?” These New Vision Research #CCADalumni are crushing it 🤓💪🏼🧠🧬🦠🌡️🩺

Raj Lab @ #ADPD2025: Tatsuhiko Naito on mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCA) in #Alzhiemer’s (ID 1090, Fri 17:50, Hall F2) & Mikaela Rosen on scRNA-seq of PBMCs & T cells in #Parkinson’s (ID 1462, on demand).

Nice to see this finally published! Congratulations @jack-humphrey.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... (Collaborative work with Panos Roussos and his team! ) Long-read RNA sequencing atlas of human microglia isoforms elucidates disease-associated genetic regulation of splicing

Outstanding lineup of speakers! If you are on @bsky.app, please tag yourself so that we can start following you!

LOOKING FORWARD to inaugural #Alzheimer’s #GordonConf co-chaired by @trajnp.bsky.social & @bcmhouston.bsky.social’s Olivier Lichtarge. Vice Chairs @karchlab.bsky.social & Jennifer Yokoyama. Delve into #AI/#ML, #omics, stat. genetics, fungen, sysbio, #neuroimaging & MORE 👉 www.grc.org/alzheimers-d...

I think the field needs to reconsider the widespread concept that microglia are The most important factor controlling synaptic pruning.🧠🧪 We offered our Perspective on whether they are hunters or gatherers of synaptic debris here www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy Holidays from the lab! 🎄 We celebrated with a 'Squid Game'-themed team-building outing – full of fun and bonding! Here's to a fantastic new year ahead! #TeamBuilding #HappyHolidays

What do GWAS and rare variant burden tests discover, and why? Do these studies find the most IMPORTANT genes? If not, how DO they rank genes? Here we present a surprising result: these studies actually test for SPECIFICITY! A 🧵on what this means... (🧪🧬) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thanks to FOX24News for having me on to spotlight #CADASIL. I hope this gives insight into this disease and highlights why we believe targeting blood vessels is key to developing effective treatments #VCID #EndDementia. More info below 👇 www.elahilab.com/

3 reviews on planning, execution, & validation of transcriptomic experiments in neuroscience published in @natureportfolio.bsky.social #NatureNeuroscience. A MUST READ if you're doing transcriptomics. 3 reviews, an amazing editorial, a beautiful cover – this is the issue of the year! (mini thread)

Excited to share our first foray into (noncoding) rare variant association testing: a probabilistic model that learns functional annotation importance and finds associations missed by existing methods. Anjali did a fantastic job with model assessment and scaling! www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

It’s a big day for @genesandhealth.bsky.social @samcbhodgson.bsky.social @moneeza-ks.bsky.social Genes & Health, with @ Sam Hodgson, Moneeza Kalhan Siddiqui and I, as we publish our paper rdcu.be/d1vj0 on the genetic basis of #type2diabetes & #gestationaldiabetes (#T2D and #GDM) in south Asians. A🧵

I’m still trying to figure this thing out. Do we have a “starter pack” for a list of people to follow for #neurodegeneration #neurogenomics #Alzheimer #Parkinson #als #ftd

The inaugural #Alzheimers GordonConf speaker lineup is live! A few slots are still available, so encourage your fellows and students to submit abstracts for short talks. Don’t miss out—register today! www.grc.org/alzheimers-d...

The journal Nature asked 6 biomedical scientists to briefly comment on what should be a U.S. priority going forward. Here's mine. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Excited to share our latest preprint on scE2G – a new model to link enhancers to target genes using single-cell data – with state-of-the-art performance across multiple perturbation benchmarks. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... Read more below! 1/12

I wrote about the National Institutes of Health and the various serious and unserious proposals for NIH reform that have been floating around. It is important to understand how this agency actually functions and point criticism at the right problems. A short 🧵:
