Check out a new paper in @NeuroOnc by our PhD student @RuchiyYana and team using novel computational methods to describe the genomic evolution of #medulloblastoma and identify potentially targetable biomarkers of tumour progression 🧠 @EditorNeuro

[Yana Ruchiy 🇰🇿🇬🇧🇩🇪🇸🇪 @RuchiyYana]

The first ever Ruchiy et al is now in print 🎉🤩 Couldn’t be happier to publish my first PhD project 🥳 https://t.co/f6457FOsYU

[Blomgren Lab @BlomgrenLab]

Excited to share our latest @HeliyonJournal publication! 🚀 @thaliapreka, @alelastrarom, and @AhmedOs99285689 developed a rapid, robust protocol for #SingleCell suspensions from brain microregions, favouring #microglia & #vascular cells! 🧠✨ #scRNAseq

Excited about our @AhmedOs99285689 and @alelastrarom raising awareness of long-term cognitive complications in paediatric brain tumour survivors in the latest interview by @karolinskainst. Read the full interview here: https://t.co/5FDm1yuZ3p

[Blomgren Lab @BlomgrenLab]

Proud to announce our new publication by @AhmedOs99285689 and @alelastrarom in @NeuroOnc where we identified #EDA2R as a new liquid biopsy biomarker of radiation-induced brain injuries! Check it out here: https://t.co/GNuTJ4UTfJ

Check out or new paper on the role of microglia alternations in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease 🔬 https://t.co/4kMkAmM6vi.

[Blomgren Lab @BlomgrenLab]

We are very proud of our PhD student @alelastrarom for completing a one-month internship at @EbbaBiotech where he was working on the development of the Optotracer technology.

[Blomgren Lab @BlomgrenLab]

Our PhD student @thaliapreka has just arrived at @MIT to start her 3-month internship at @manoliskellis lab where she will be studying microglia dynamics in health and inflammation/injury, including AD, working on scRNA analysis and predict responses applied to humans and mice.

Congratulations to our @DrLuis_Garcia and @GiusyPizzirusso on presenting their #Alzheimers research at the #SfN2023 conference! 👏 @SfNtweets

[Luis Garcia @DrLuis_Garcia]

What a day! What an experience it was!
Congratulations to @GiusyPizzirusso for a great talk and great discussion!
I also enjoyed the nice comments and questions from the audience in my talk!
Extremely thankful to @SfNtweets for the opportunity!

[Blomgren Lab @BlomgrenLab]

Thrilled to announce our new paper on the role of #memantine treatment in improving #cognition post-radiotherapy in mice and we are hoping our findings will facilitate the improvements of treatment protocols for our young #braintumour patients 👧👶
