Well done to @rachelmspicer for passing her viva today 🎉🎊 Her thesis was all about analysing genetic and protein interactions associated with mutant Huntingtin-induced degeneration.

Members of our lab headed over to Bristol for the @GW4Alliance Early Career Neuroscientists day. Presenting posters and giving a talk on our findings

[Vincent Dion @VDion_and_Lab]

Our article on how Cas9 nickase induces contraction of expanded CAG repeats is published!

Go on, read it, you know you want to.

One step closer to the clinic! (But still some ways to go…)

We had a fantastic day at King Henry VIII School in Abergavenny, doing some hands-on neuroscience activities with the year 7s! They explored cell culture, practiced practical skills, tried the stoop test, and learned about brain structure. #FutureScientists #ScienceEducation

I had a fantastic time attending the European Huntington's Disease Network Conference in Strasbourg. I am thankful that I was able to present my poster consisting of work undertaken in my PhD thus far.

Fascinating morning listening to all things clinical trails! #EHDN2024 #ENROLLHD #Huntingtonsdisease

[Alvaro Murillo @Alvaro_MurilloB]

Visit my poster i001 during lunch break at #EHDN24. This work have been developed in @VDion_and_Lab in @cardiffuni at @UKDRI and provide new amazing gene therapy tool for #HuntingtonDisease

London ➡️ Strasbourg
Members of our lab are heading to #EHDN2024. Looking forward to hearing the latest advancements in #Huntingtonsdisease research and to share our own work as well. #ENROLLHD @EHDN_News @EuroHuntington @HDA_tweeting

[The Science of Parkinson's @ScienceofPD]

Researchers looked at the relationships of B12 & homocysteine with outcomes in the SURE-PD, SURE-PD3, & STEADY-PDIII clinical trials in #Parkinsons; Initiation of L-dopa associated with⬆️Hcy in those not taking B12 supplement; B12 intake higher overall
