Samuel Keat

PhD Student at the Dementia Research Institute, Cardiff University. Looking at the genetic basis for Alzheimer's disease.

And, to make a great week even better, I've been included as an author on a paper for the first time! 🎉 So proud of all the work my amazingly talented colleagues did to make this happen and I was very proud to lend my bioinformatics experience to it 🧠

A privilege to be part of this amazing team and very excited to publish our results soon!

How can we better understand the impact of genetics on Alzheimer's risk?

We spoke to @HazelLRoberts about her role in IPMAR, a major UK DRI initiative that established 100 stem cell lines, capturing the effects of Alzheimer's risk genes👉https://t.co/BOS50hF1ur

My first ever research paper is out !! 👩🏼‍🔬🎉

A natural product "brazilin" inhibits the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, a key driver of numerous inflammatory human diseases including those affecting the brain such as stroke and dementia.

Great to see coverage on @BBC news re treatment for @Alzheimers. Watch @BBCPanorama for the full story where I speak w/@BBCFergusWalsh on new Alzheimer's meds. Benefits are modest but show potential for a new generation of effective therapies. 1/2

Is the NHS ready for new Alzheimer's treatments? A BBC Panorama programme airs at 8pm tonight.

The UK DRI's Prof John Hardy was on @BBCr4today this morning discussing lecanemab and donanemab.

@sj_marzi Good luck Sarah!!

[Natalie Connor-Robson @nlconnor_robson]

It was amazing to have such an inspiring talk from @azziejo yesterday about her and her family's journey with Alzheimer's disease. Definitely reminds us why all those hours in the lab are so important!

[Samuel Keat @keat_sam]

@sj_marzi Hi Sarah! Could I get a link to this as well please?

[Natalie Connor-Robson @nlconnor_robson]

Exciting Postdoc position in my lab at Cardiff
@UKDRI and collaborating with Prof Steve Finkbeiner. Please consider applying if you are interested in studying the molecular mechanisms of Alzheimer's using super cool imaging! Please spread the word 📢🧠🔬

Everyone: we use .fastq.gz

BIG PROJECT: here is a bunzip2 tar archive with raw fastq inside

[Rebekah Cooke @_RebekahCooke]

It was amazing to work with the Jin group during my masters on some really interesting work on OXA-48 which is now published - Check it out!

[Tina Cottrell @tinacotts]

Thanks @HolstegeHenne for coming along to @UKDRI at Cardiff to talk about your research #100plusStudy. Fascinating. How do centenarians avoid #dementia in old age?

[UK Dementia Research Institute @UKDRI]

What role could the immune system play in #Parkinsons? T cells, a type of white blood cell, may have a part to play in the disease. @CynthiaSandor4 (UK DRI at Cardiff) will investigate in her recently awarded Future Leaders Fellowship from @UKRI_News👏👉https://t.co/E4XvZJHtkT

[Nikoleta Daskoulidou @daskoulidou]

Great ARUK Leadership Training today! ✨️ @EmmaCFalkner's expertise illuminated paths of self-discovery and leadership! Thanks to Emma and Beccy @AlzResearchUK Wales network for organising! 🍊

[Race Against Dementia @racingdementia]

Congratulations to Race Against Dementia Fellow, Dr Wioleta Zelek who is one of @UKDRI x @lifearc1's funding recipients for her work in developing an antibody therapy targeting complement, part of the innate immune system for Alzheimer’s -> https://t.co/1SUQ2pMYPw

[Siân Gregory @SianGregory7]

The Blood Biomarker Challenge will revolutionise how we diagnose dementia in the UK in the future, shifting the dial on what is possible in terms of offering accurate, quick, timely diagnosis for people living with dementia.💙#ResearchisHope

[Samuel Keat @keat_sam]

At Imperial today for the @UKDRI Molecular Epidemiology and Big Data in Dementia Research workshop! Kicking off with a plenary about the role of epidemiologists and the impact of Alzheimer's epidemiology by Professor Albert Hofman of @HarvardEpi #UKDRI

[Nathan Skene @n_skene]

Get in touch if you are interested in doing a PhD in machine learning for genomics!

[Samuel Keat @keat_sam]

@Ger_Crowley13 @soyonhonglab @Newrotrash @lab_schaefer Congratulations Ger!! Very well deserved!

[Dr Hazel Hall-Roberts @HazelLRoberts]

Enjoyed working on this, I hope that it's useful to people!
