Thank you all, for making this #EMBOmicroglia24 such an amazing meeting! Top #science, great discussions, wonderful people! lucky to have such a beautiful #microglia community! @SierraLabAch @FGinhoux @EMBOevents

[Taoufik Lab @TaoufikLab]

Our project on #microglia in familial #parkinsons disease travelled to Genoa at the #embo microglia workshop #embomicroglia24 together with our postdoc, Elpinickie Ninou.
It's amazing to share new ideas with inspiring people and to listen to fascinating scientific stories.
