I’m very happy to share the preprint of one of the projects I’ve been working on during my postdoc in Michal Schwartz’s lab at the @WeizmannScience

🧠 Alzheimer’s disease disrupts bone marrow myelopoiesis, leading to systemic immune dysfunction.

@BaniprasadSwain @unav @ClinicaNavarra @AgEInves Thanks Bani!!

A few weeks ago, I received notification that I had been granted internal funding @unav to start my independent research in collaboration with colleagues from @ClinicaNavarra.
And just today I just got my 1st National Research @AgEInves grant! This year's been full of good news!

A huge achievement from my friends from Schwartz’s lab!! Congrats!!!

A phase 1 clinical trial reports positive results for a brain-protective immunotherapy in early Alzheimer's disease. The therapy is based on the discoveries of Prof. Michal Schwartz and was developed by ImmunoBrain >> https://t.co/rqe471CUFR @NatureMedicine

@farmaciaunav @unav If you are interested in the brain-immune axis in chronic stress and depression, let's talk!!

[Miguel Ángel Abellanas @maabellanas]

I can't believe how lucky I am to have the opportunity to work on something I like so much, and the support of my colleagues at @farmaciaunav @unav

@WeismanCara @JasonSynaptic @qedScience Even though I like the will of qed to challenge the status quo… Can’t agree more!! I just loved that thought and that quote!!

Exciting news from my postdoc! Our latest paper is now published in @NatureComms. We discovered a critical, active brain-spleen circuit that regulates neuroprotective immunity and dictates the pace of Alzheimer’s disease progression. 👇 Let’s break down what we found.

Huge thanks to co-first authors Tommaso Croese & Hodaya Polonsky, and our incredible supervisors Naomi Habib & Michal Schwartz! This project has been a remarkable journey for me, even amid the tough times we faced. I genuinely grew as a scientist through this experience
