• We are delighted to contribute to this work just out in @jneurochem.bsky.social, where we collaborate with the BlueSkyless Smillie lab to reveal that Huntington’s Disease model neurons display excess activity-dependent bulk endocytosis (ADBE).

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...

If anyone knows of any budding chemists/biochemists looking for a PhD, check out this opportunity www.findaphd.com/phds/project... in @ecalder.bsky.social new lab at @edinuni-irr.bsky.social. Looking to make lots of cool new tools for studying SUMOylation.

Some of our lab members will be running in the Hairy Haggis Relay Marathon on the 25th of May in support of the Epilepsy Research Institute.

We are reaching out to ask for your support in raising funds to support the ERI in advancing epilepsy research and would appreciate any contributions.

My lab is happy to poach people considering greener pastures. We’re currently recruiting a postdoc.

5 years of funding.

Visa fees covered by the lab.

I myself avoided Trump 1.0 as a postdoc in Germany- which ended up being an amazing experience.

New review out from our lab on SV2A! Thanks to James for all his hard work on this!
New in #JNC: A review article from @thecousinlab.bsky.social 📄

"SV2A is an enigmatic presynaptic protein. We discuss its key role in trafficking Synaptotagmin-1, how this controls neurotransmitter release, and how its dysfunction may result in epilepsy."
