A new chapter in our lab has begun! Our postdoc @verwilt.bsky.social has received an FWO Junior Fellowship to look for non-invasive extracellular biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease. Stay tuned for some cool research! @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social
YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME! 🥳 Extremely happy to be selected as a Junior FWO Postdoctoral fellowship! Stay tuned for novel extracellular biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease! Can’t wait to jump in these three years! 🧠🩸🧬 #fwo #RNA #cfDNA #alzheimers @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social @sleegerslab.bsky.social

There were 1038 applications for the junior fellowships and 439 for the senior fellowships. As a result, the success rate this year fell to 16.1% (-1.3%) for junior postdocs and 25.9% (-7.8%) for senior postdocs.

Hypothesis-based investigation of known AD risk variants reveals the genetic underpinnings of neuropathological lesions observed in Alzheimer’s-type dementia - Acta Neuropathologica
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia worldwide. Besides neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques, a wide range of co-morbid neuropathological features can be observed...
