Happy to share our latest work led by @kevincziegler.bsky.social and Aydan Askarova, examining cell type contributions of vascular cell types to dementia risk. Many thanks to the donors, and for support from @ukdri.ac.uk and @alzassociation.bsky.social.

Extremely proud of Dr Janis Transfeld, who defended her PhD. Janis' project was a heroic undertaking to profile the epigenome of in vivo human dopaminergic neurons, which she then leveraged to interpret Parkinson's risk variants. @jaenice.bsky.social @ukdri.ac.uk @imperialbrains.bsky.social 🎉🎓🍾

A first first-author paper by Aydan Askarova with @mangiruben.bsky.social & @sj-marzi.bsky.social showing that genetic risk for neurodegenerative conditions is linked to disease-specific microglial pathways. @ukdri.ac.uk 🎉 🍾

Wonderful evening with @liddelowsa.bsky.social following his visit to @imperialbrains.bsky.social @ukdri.ac.uk 🧠

Happy holidays from the Neurogenomics groups at Imperial with the @sj-marzi.bsky.social and Skene labs ☃️. We had a wonderful evening of Nepalese food, quizzes and an epigenetics-inspired sip and paint 🎨🍷🧬
