Friday #cellfie. Dotting the i’s for the next @WrayLabUCL manuscript!

[Wray Lab @WrayLabUCL]

Welcome Sophie!!! 🤩🤩

[Sophie Goldsmith @SGoldsmith0]

I’m extremely excited to share that I’ve started my PhD in the @WrayLabUCL 🧠I want to say a big thank you to everyone in the Rohrer lab @FTDtalk for all their support over the last two years. I am really looking forward to this next step & can’t wait for what’s to come ☺️

[Charlie Arber @celarber]

And what better way to celebrate submission than fizz in a Bri mug??

Thanks to @neuronaiomi for the amazing cheese pun mug!

Hang on….
Could microglia build amyloid plaques?

Can’t say for sure yet, but check out what a rare disease called FBD can teach us about dementia.

Our next #ARUKImageOfTheWeek captures stem cells in the process of turning into new-born nerve cells!

@celarber works in the @WraylabUCL to investigate how nerve cells in the brain work and what happens to them in diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

What does a cure for dementia look like? Will there ever be a cure?

Join our next Lab Notes event where our experts, including Prof @SelinaWray and Prof @jmschott, will delve into these important questions & more.

📅 Tues 27 June, 2-3pm

Friday #cellfie with @WrayLabUCL @MarcoBrancacci4 @M4riekeHoekstra @SelinaWray

[Wray Lab @WrayLabUCL]

Congratulations to @LinesGeorgie who successfully defended her PhD thesis on Friday 🎉 Georgie leaves us 😢 to pursue postdoctoral work at the @lab_ye where she will continue to work on the proteasome in neurodegeneration!

[Charlie Arber @celarber]

On my way to #BNA2023. I’ll be presenting our work on stem cell models of dementia on Monday at 3:30 (advances in fundamental neuroscience).

Please come and say hi! 👋

Congrats to Dr Tatiana Alvarez Giovannucci who who has received an @alzassociation Research Fellowship to Promote Diversity to continue her work on NFL with @tautangles, Prof Kevin Mills and us! #ENDALZ

[@BrainComms @braincomms]

Willumsen et al. report that patient-derived iPSCs containing the Presenilin 1 E280G mutation display a high relative production of Abeta43, a finding matched in post-mortem tissue with the same mutation. @selinawray @WraylabUCL https://t.co/bSliC5alk3

[Wray Lab @WrayLabUCL]

Aren’t these just beautiful! 🤩

[Georgie Lines @LinesGeorgie]

🥹The first neurons emerging from my most recent batch of iPSC inductions. So pretty !

[UCL Brain Sciences @UCLBrainScience]

Congratulations to Dr Charlie Arber @celarber (@UCLIoN), who has been named the winner of @alzheimerssoc's first ever research image competition, with a picture of brain cells grown from the skin of people with #dementia 🧬

Congratulations to @celarber for this beautiful #cellfie and winning the #spotlightondementia competition!

[Alzheimer's Society For Researchers @AlzSocResearch]

Our overall @alzheimerssoc #SpotlightonDementia competition winner is Dr Charlie Arber (@celarber) of @UCLIoN with his submission a ‘bed of rosettes’ – Congratulations Charlie🥳

Stay tuned for the announcement of our individual category winners.

Merci beaucoup @univbordeaux_EN @Neuro_Bordeaux @iins_bordeaux. A lovely week teaching students experimental neuroscience skills 🧠

[Under the lab coat @underlabcoat]

💥The very first episode is out!💥

🎙❤🥼This podcast starts with an amazing guest : @SelinaWray, neuroscientist at @ucl

We talked about her studies, public engagement, running, music and much more! 🧠🏃‍♀️🐈🎵
