Fantastic new paper in PLOS Genetics by Askarova, Yaa, Marzi & Nott: using 3D genomic mapping, they show how genetic risk for neurodegenerative diseases converges on disease-specific microglial pathways. Important step toward targeted therapies! doi.org/10.1371/journa…
The field of digital solutions for neurodegeneration is exploding. BioBeat24 is an opportunity to get an inside track on the latest developments Ahead of the event, the UK DRI's Iraida Soria-Espinosa & @BioBeatUK spoke to keynote speaker Prof Zoe Kourtzi👉buff.ly/3U8mlfW

Congratulations to @ASchalkamp for passing her viva today!!! It's a huge and significant achievement. Probably the first PhD 2024 of @UKDRI
Congratulations @ASchalkamp for being a runner-up in the Professor Lesley Jones PGR Student Excellence Award! Thanks to @Immunopsyc, @ValentinaEPrice, Kathryn Peall, Caleb Webber and Nicholas Brayand @UKDRI for supporting AK in this journey.
Yesterday we learned of the disgusting sexual abuse female surgeons experience in the NHS. Today, writing in the Times, recently retired anaesthetist Peter Hilton unintentionally shows exactly why disgusting sexual abuse in the NHS still thrives & prospers. Un - be - lievable.
