Today is #WorldAlzheimersDay. Since VIB's inception, we've been working to better understand and treat this disease affecting millions across the globe. Explore how we continue to unravel the mysteries of Alzheimer's disease. #originofimpact#25yVIB

📢 Le lauréat 2020 du Prix Européen Jeune Chercheur-SCOR est @MancusoRenzo Biologiste de 35 ans, il travaille avec le Pr de Strooper au centre de recherche @VIBLifeSciences @CBD_VIB à Louvain. Il a contribué au progrès des connaissances sur la microglie #Alzheimer
"LifeTime has brought together scientists across fields – from biologists, to clinicians, data scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and physicists – to enable a much improved understanding of molecular mechanisms driving health and disease."
I am super stoked 🥳 to have been part of this awesome work from Weit-ting Chen (first) and Bart de Strooper (last) and many others. It just come out, folks, check it out. 😍
@BioImagingCore@CARTANAbio@scilifelab@riken_en 9/ Further work is needed to understand whether, and when, removal of amyloid plaques—for instance by antibody therapy—would be sufficient to reverse these ongoing cellular processes.
1/ Really happy to see this story out online! Kudos to the entire team: Wei-Ting Chen, Ashley Lu, Mark Fiers and many others involved, including @BioImagingCore@cartanabio@scilifelab@riken_en
@BioImagingCore@CARTANAbio@scilifelab@riken_en 8/ Our data demonstrate that amyloid plaques are not innocent bystanders of the disease, as has been sometimes suggested, but in fact induce a strong and coordinated response of all surrounding cell types.
We are looking for a postdoc to use spatial transcriptomics, in situ sequencing, and multiplexed proteomics to untangle the cellular response to #amyloid plaques and tangles in brains affected by or resilient to #Alzheimer’s disease. https://t.co/kA7xobo5pE
New preprint out De Strooper lab at @CBD_VIB with @VE_ZSU from our lab on how impaired adult hippocampal neurogenesis in Alzheimer’s disease is mediated by microRNA-132 deficiency and can be restored by microRNA-132 replacement #alzheimersdisease https://t.co/xPNajeVV3x
Last day to submit your abstract for #BrainMosaic19: the best place to present your single-cell data in neuroscience. Exciting keynote lectures and many other excellent speakers! https://t.co/3n0CGQn3PI #VIBconf @CBD_VIB
Saying goodbye to Amaia and @HeatherRicePhD. You will both be missed but it will be great to see you spread your wings and set up your own labs in Spain and the US!
On Sept 11th, @BStrooper wil lbe speaking at @BaselLSW about «A new way to look at Alzheimer’s Disease: the cellular phase».

Heading to #AAIC19 next month? Be sure to catch UK DRI Director, Bart De Strooper's Plenary (Cellular phase of Alzheimer's disease) on Wed 17 July. Bart gives a sneak preview in this Q&A: https://t.co/QpxngiWpVt
