Thrilled to welcome Chiara Garsia to the lab as a visiting PhD student.
With a background in genetics and stem cell therapies, Chiara is set to advance our research on CRISPRa-engineered neural stem cells.
Welcome aboard, Chiara! 🌟 #ResearchExcellence #StemCellResearch

Feeling inspired and recharged after the EMBO Workshop on Mitochondria in the Nervous System in Engelberg! Thanks to Elisa Motori, Angelika Harbauer, Tatjana Kleele, Julien Courchet, and everyone involved for the fantastic program. Excited for future collaborations!

Speaking of talented students, huge thanks to Pranathi Prasad, a fantastic DTP-MR PhD student who just finished her time in the lab. Her contributions led to outstanding data—hope to share it soon! Best wishes, Pranathi! 🌟🙏 #PhD #Research #Teamwork #FutureLeaders

Congratulations to Tabitha and Charlotte , about to defend their MPhil in @camneurodept.bsky.social, and to Melika, who will present her Master's thesis at Università di Pavia. A pleasure having you in the lab—best of luck with all the exciting challenges ahead!

Great seminar by @kajastelab.bsky.social on innate anti-viral immunity, inflammation & next-gen gene therapies! Implications for understanding cell function in new treatments for degenerative conditions like #progressiveMS

Heartbroken to hear JM has passed. A neuroscience idol who became a friend. His kindness & genuine curiosity shaped my path. Thank you for everything. Rest now. #remembering #neuroscience

Calling all early-career researchers! 📢
Apply now for the CAJAL Advanced Neuroscience Training Course on Neuroimmunology in Bordeaux! 🧠🫀
Expert lectures & hands-on training in cutting-edge techniques.
Deadline: July 21, 2025! ➡️[https://lnkd.in/euvtVmDk]

Proud to have 3 CSAR Award winners!
@lpjlab.org (2018) pioneered neural stem cell therapies, Bristena Ionescu (2023) found a metabolic target for MS, Nathi Prasad (2025) has uncovered a key dsRNA inflammation driver in MS.
Advancing #neuroscience, one breakthrough at a time!!

🎉 Congratulations to Pranathi Prasad for receiving the prestigious 2025 CSAR Award!
Her innovative research on dsRNA and inflammation in Progressive MS offers hope for new therapies.
Well deserved recognition for her outstanding work! #Neuroscience #MS #proudmentor

What an incredible seminar! @AleksDeLab joined us virtually today for a "tour de force" in choroid plexus physiology, including potential new implications of novel disease mechanisms. So much to learn! #NeuroscienceResearch

Huge congrats to @pluchinolab.bsky.social mentees
@telencephale.bsky.social & Cory Willis who are taking their groundbreaking research tothe Department of Neuroscience at the U_Arkansas College of Medicine as tenure-track assistant profs!!!

#Neuroscience #Mentorship #Proudmentor

Honored to be the 2025 Petit Family Visiting Professor in #MS at @uconnhealth! Looking forward to connecting with colleagues. Excited to share & learn! #MultipleSclerosis #Research #UConnHealth

Truly delighted to be speaking at the incoming FEBS 2025 Advanced Course on Immunology, Metabolism and Ageing next September in Matrei am Brenner (Austria) (for registration lnkd.in/dxJFPBzE)

#worldmsday

Super happy to have hosted @lucie-jexpmed.bsky.social ‬ - Senior Scientific Editor at @jem.org for a 'Meet the Editor' short talk and then 1:1 meetings with students and PIs. Delighted her visit has raised substantial interest in the Dept and well beyond ;)

Delighted to speak at the joint ESN/HSN meeting: European Society for Neurochemistry and Hellenic Society for Neuroscience in Naxos, Greece. Standing room only for the opening session, and ... what a place and view 😍

🎉 Excited to welcome @rowanbinkley.bsky.social
as the new joint Project Coordinator between the Pluchinolab and @peruzzotti-123.bsky.social

She is going to be a key asset in advancing our research on innovative therapies.
