PhD Student at @UKDRI @KingsIoPPN | Studying synaptic dysfunction in TDP-43 ALS/FTD 🧠🧪

[UK Dementia Research Institute @UKDRI]

📢Introducing the brilliant research work of the UK DRI at King’s.

The centre focuses on studying the molecular causes and looking for treatments for motor neuron disease and frontotemporal dementia.

The UK DRI at King’s has:
⭐️Seven research teams
⭐️58 researchers
⭐️35 students
⭐️Four clinicians

In this new video, Centre Director Jernej Ule (@ule_lab), Group Leader Sarah Marzi (@sj_marzi), and Centre Manager Tanisha Lewis explain the centre’s research and why they are proud to be part of the UK DRI at King’s.

It was a pleasure to take part in this project during my MSc at @UniofBath 🧠🧫 Great work from @KatyHole and everyone involved!

[Dr Katy Hole @KatyHole]

My PhD paper exploring the TauP301L interactome in primary cortical neurons is now published with @SpringerNature in Cell Death and Disease! @cddpress Big thank you to everyone who helped get this over the line! https://t.co/maMxsdJIXo

It's #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay today. Over 1500 people are diagnosed with motor neuron disease/ALS each year in the UK.

At the UK DRI, we have a number of dedicated research teams working on MND/ALS.

Hear about some of their recent developments ⬇️

Our paper is finally out (my first published first author)! In a tau model, we saw changes in signal encoding in vivo in tandem with synapse and structure alterations. A full summary in the qt below or go read the paper if you’re interested!

FTD and ALS share overlapping genetics and pathologies. Clayton et al. summarise recent evidence suggesting that presynaptic dysfunction is an early and common event in both diseases, and could be a target for future disease-modifying therapies. https://t.co/8UBIgXSaRy
