A great week at #AAIC25. Thanks to @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social and @alzassociation.bsky.social for the opportunity!

Was fun...and hot 🥵

Come and hear about how the synaptic protein, SV2a, is not always found at synapses. To find out where else it is, come and see our group's poster #384 today. #AAIC25

#AAIC25 Come and hear about synaptic proteomic changes over disease progression presented by the amazing Tatiana Georgiades in work funded by @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social

We have a new paper alert🎉 This work compiles all reported protein changes in the cerebrospinal fluid of Alzheimer’s patients across studies using mass spectrometry, Olink, and SomaScan platforms. Check it out here: academic.oup.com/braincomms/a... #Alzheimers

Super proud of my PhD student, Tatiana, for being chosen as an @istaart.bsky.social Ambassador!

really looking forward to speaking in this session!

@imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social is looking for a new Head of Brain Sciences. Please repost and/or consider applying!! www.imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-...

Congratulations to my first Imperial PhD student Eleonore Schneegans! It's been a pleasure supervising you with Nurun Fancy and Paul Matthews. And thanks to the amazing examiners @sj-marzi.bsky.social and @ppetra.bsky.social. Pretty much an all woman dream team 😍

Dr Nurun Fancy at Imperial College London @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social is seeking a PhD Student to explore the role of LRRK2 in cellular senescence in Parkinson's Disease. Closing date: 15th March #PhDPosition www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/job/phd-role...

I don’t think many of my American scientist friends will leave the US despite the recent political changes affecting the NIH. But if they were interested, they should apply to become centre director here in Cardiff! www.ukdri.ac.uk/vacancies/ce...

Big week for the Jackson synaptics lab last week... 1st Imperial PhD thesis submitted, presented new data at Japan-UK neuroscience meeting and we have a new preprint out...a 🧵1/6

Pleased to play a small part in this study. Congrats to everyone involved!

Why do 95% of new drugs fail? Often, it's the wrong drug target. Researchers from @imperialbrains.bsky.social mapped how genes worked in 2.3M+ brain cells. The result? Dozens of promising new drug targets for brain conditions like #Alzheimers and #Parkinsons. www.imperial.ac.uk/news/259876/...

A great thread 🤩

Meet our amazing leader👩‍🔬 She will be sharing her journey of starting a new lab and much more. Stay tuned to know more about her experience! #Dementia

One official year in (after many official years) of the Jackson lab and celebrated with a 'sip n paint' neon masterclass. Looking forward to the year ahead and pleased to have the best team on board. Watch this space for our work coming out in the synaptic multi-'omics space in 2025

One week left to apply for this job!! I'm looking for a research tech to come and work on Alzheimers and ApoE! If you love cell culture, astrocytes, APOE or just fun science with fun people then come do science with us in beautiful Dundee! tinyurl.com/a33kjn49 Seriously the sunsets are on point!

I've created a synapse starter pack, let me know if you want to be added go.bsky.app/GD1JwCq #neuroskyence

Hello World! New here, and a little bit scared of having to rebuild the Twitter network, but here we go: I'm a group leader at UK DRI and @kingsioppn.bsky.social. My lab works on #epigenetics in neurodegenerative diseases, to understand non-coding genetic and environmental risk factors 🧬🧠

nice to see so many people coming over from the other side...welcome! 👋 I'm Jo, a group leader @ UKDRI @ Imperial studying all things synapses in neurodegeneration. Tweet about synapses, multi-'omics, human 🧠 tissue, 🔬imaging and EDI #WomenInSTEM Anyone have a synapse starter pack? #neuroskyence

Happy to be named an Alzheimer's Society Dementia Research Leader and the first recipient of their Carol Jennings Fellowship supported by the Hamilton Neal Fund. My group will continue our work on targeting the synapse in neurodegeneration...watch this space! #alzheimers ukdri.ac.uk/news-and-eve...

first week here and a couple of points/questions: 1. really nice to see some familiar people who dropped off twitter🤩 2. everyone seems friendly/constructive...long may that continue🤞 3. I have a 'science' tab at the top and, whilst I love general science, how can I see more neuroscience/biology?🧪
