We’re teaming up with UMBAU to launch a Europe-wide campaign on screening for Early-Type 1 Diabetes.
Because early detection saves lives and it’s time parents across Europe know how and where to screen their children.

Kudos to @rafaelapolicarpo.bsky.social, who led two science workshops this month with Native Scientists!
She co-designed hands-on science activities in Portuguese, helping make science more accessible & relatable. 🇵🇹
These initiatives matter. They break down barriers & open doors.

Thrilled to share our latest review in @natureneuro.bsky.social
We dive into the transcriptional diversity of microglia across development, disease, regions, and sexes—highlighting emerging tools + a new resource for cell state annotation.

I am so excited to share our review on microglial heterogeneity @natureneuro.bsky.social! It was a fantastic effort by the lab, led by @c9laura72.bsky.social and Alma Mohebiany. We provide a critical view on the plethora of microglial cell states in health and disease. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Microglia heterogeneity, modeling and cell-state annotation in development and neurodegeneration - Nature Neuroscience
Microglia have key roles in CNS development and neurodegeneration. Here, the authors provide an overview of microglia heterogeneity, cell-state annotation and model systems.

Proud of the work presented by my promoter Prof. Rosa Rademakers! Research by @wdecoster.bsky.social identifies a repeat expansion in GOLGA8A as a major risk factor for a rare and sporadic form of FTD, opening new avenues for understanding its role in the disease. #RNGS25 @vibtrainconf.bsky.social

✨ We’re off for three days of next-generation sequencing at #RNGS25 in Antwerp! Experts from academia and industry will showcase innovations transforming healthcare, agriculture, and more.
🎤 Kicking off: Rosa Rademakers on GOLGA8A repeat expansion & its link to FTD. Stay tuned! 🔬 #Genomics
