Had a brilliant time speaking at @pintofscience.uk with my talk “Gold, Guns and Brain Cells” — exploring neurodegeneration and resilience in Alzheimer’s disease.
Huge thanks to everyone who came, asked thoughtful questions, and made it such a fun night! 🧠🍻 #pint25

Our paper in Nature Comms is now online! Summary below but in short we use living human brain slice cultures in a number of different ways to model dementia processes. Big team effort led by myself, @robertmcgeachan.bsky.social and @clairedurrant1.bsky.social rdcu.be/ej647
Divergent actions of physiological and pathological amyloid-β on synapses in live human brain slice cultures
Nature Communications - Understanding synapse loss in Alzheimer’s disease has been hampered by a lack of human model systems. Here, the authors show that manipulation of physiological or...

Amazing to welcome HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh, Patron of Race Against Dementia to our lab! An incredible opportunity to showcase our work with living human brain slice cultures and the importance of investing in dementia research. We are very lucky to have her support.
