Tau lesions in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) are also sites of concentrated glial reactivity.

In our recent paper published in Acta Neuropathological we used multiplex immunohistochemistry to explore the microenvironment of these lesions

Congratulations to Meagan Chamberlain for winning 🎉 the Light Microscopy category prize for her image showing different types of tau in the Alzheimer's disease hippocampus. This image is from Meagan's masters project exploring the composition of tau tangles in AD and frontotemporal dementia.

My team produced some truly stunning images of the brain this year using multiplexed immunohistochemistry. These two won awards at our Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences image competition

New platform, new me.
Hi I'm Helen! I study the neuropathology of tauopathies and
I enjoy labelling brain tissue sections with as many antibodies as I can.

Enjoy one of my favourite multiplex IHC images of a cortical brainbow 🌈
