I am thrilled to see my first postdoc paper published in @NatureSMB! 🌟🧠🧬
“Mini-heterochromatin domains constrain the cis-regulatory impact of SVA transposons in human brain development and disease”

Days of inspiring science and experiences sharing at the #ASAPSanDiegocollaborativemeeting . A unique experience for trainees like me to meet incredibile scientists from #ASAP from all around the world.
Some of us are at the @ASAP_Research meeting in San Diego this week. We are presenting new data on the innate immune response in Parkinsons disease and its link to activation of transposable elements. @ATransposons
We just spent two fantastic days in south 🇸🇪 for a joint labmeeting with @Trono_Lab . Why is not everyone working with transposable elements and KRAB-ZNFs?
New preprint from our lab. We asked if LINE-1 transposable elements are expressed in the human brain – and found something exciting and intriguing:
L1 retrotransposons drive human neuronal transcriptome complexity and functional diversification

Had such a fantastic experience @Cajal_Training@bdxneuroschool! Could not be more proud of my brilliant students. They all became Choroid Plexperts 😏
Thanks to @AlexPaDonovan (and his plexellent choroid plexus puns!) @henriquenpinto, @aniada97 & Jet Coenen-van derSpek🤩
An intense 3-weeks long training program at the Bordeaux School of Neuroscience. What a great opportunity to learn, share science, meet fellow young researchers and have lectures&talks by #brainorganoids experts from all over the world!
Kicking-off a new cohort of Professional Development Program students @Flädie Mat & Vingård. Two days of #collaborative learning, #community building and #fun. It’s been a joy to meet all of you! #peer support @Lund_Stem
People say “well what did people do before vaccines/antibiotics/pasteurisation?” as if that’s an argument for going natural.
They died, Carol. A lot of people died.
