Last Friday, we shared our research with 1st year Master's students at @uantwerpen.be during the Research Day! We loved their genuine interest and look forward to welcoming several of them to our lab next year.
Great to see Ph.D. students Kato and Ella share their love for science! 🧪

One year in, nearly 200 re-inclusions and a clearer picture of healthy brain aging!
The 1000 Healthy Elderly Study has become a real engine for discovery.
Thanks to all of our volunteers and a special shout-out to Sofie Van de kerckhoven for the excellence at intake and sampling! bit.ly/4gV9TLk

In this study, we reveal how Alzheimer's disease risk variants discovered in large-scale case-control genome-wide association studies (GWAS) map to the diverse underlying neuropathological features of the disease.

Exciting news! Yesterday, we were honored to receive a generous grant from Stichting Alzheimer Onderzoek! This grant is a crucial step forward for our Alzheimer's research as we'll be delving into the intricacies of the ABCA7 gene, a risk factor in AD 🧠🧬 Thanks to everyone involved!
