Graduate students increasingly use artificial-intelligence tools to draft, code and search — but many fear it could erode the very skills a doctorate is meant to build

"How is your thesis going?”–Ph.D. students’ perspectives on mental health and stress in academia
- 1 in 3 students above depression/anxiety thresholds
- Self-doubt + job insecurity = biggest predictors of poor mental health
- Bad supervision significantly worsens well-being
- Part-time work while doing PhD = burnout risk
The PhD mental health crisis isn't about weak students.
It's about systemic problems: exploitative labor conditions, poor supervision, job insecurity, and institutional neglect.
If you're struggling with your PhD, it's not your fault. These are predictable responses to broken systems.
Grateful to have attended the XI INc Conference (UAB), where I presented my work on epitranscriptomic modulation in experimental models of Alzheimer’s disease, and proud for the 1st presentation award
It’s been an inspiring meeting surrounded by brilliant colleagues and science
A one-time gene therapy can markedly slow the progression of Huntington’s disease, potentially paving the way for the first ever treatment to alter the course of this rare, inherited brain disorder.

It took me a day to process it: uniQure’s gene therapy for Huntington’s AMT-130 slowed disease progression by ~75% over 3 years.
So happy for patients and proud to have made a small contribution. A real step toward changing lives for so many families.

Earlier today we announced that the pivotal Phase I/II study of our #genetherapy candidate AMT-130 in #huntingtonsdisease met its primary and a key secondary endpoint in the high-dose, with favorable trends across additional clinical measures. https://t.co/h2ALjhjqTL
Last day in the lab of our talented research fellow @CapillaMD . All @INC_UAB will miss you !!! Lola has contributed to our understanding of #Alzheimer´s disease pathogenesis. See her 2025 Mol Psychiatry @NaturePortfolio paper: https://t.co/A6L1qlCu1P
Last Friday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Astrid Vallès to the @INC_UAB for a seminar organized by NeuroDocs.
She gave an inspiring talk on her work in gene therapy for CNS diseases and shared reflections on her career journey.

Great #incuabseminar today, by Dr Astrid Vallès, organized by Neurodocs. Dr. Vallès presented her work on developing gene-based therapeutics for Huntington’s Disease
Great historical perspective of #presenilin loss-of-function in familial #Alzheimer disease by Prof. Jie Shen @harvardmed at #ADPD2025@adpdnet meeting in Vienna. Honoured to be acknowledged after 20 years from my seminal studies in PS-deficient mice. 😀
Our postdoctoral fellow @CapillaMD@INC_UAB is presenting today her #Alzheimer’s research project on a new APP/Tau mouse model at #ADPD2025 meeting. Study supervised by @CarlesSaura . Stop by her poster and online talk shift 01-147
