Very proud supervisor moment! Congratulations to Dr @SaraTacconelli who successfully defended her PhD today! Thanks to @NicolBirsa and Andre Gerber for being her examiners. Thanks as well to @RueppLab for his support. And thank you to the @mndassoc for funding her project!


Interested in neurodegeneration and synapses then come work with myself and @RueppLab on an exciting @mndassoc funded post doc project 🧠🔬🧫. #alsresearch #synpases #microscopy Research Associate in iPSC and Neurodegeneration at King's College London jobs.ac.uk/job/DKP110/res…
The @BritishNeuro scholars are hosting a Symposium for early career neuroscientists to dive into latest discoveries, career support, grant application skills and more! Sign-up on our Eventbrite page ⬇️ eventbrite.com/e/bna-x-abpi-x…
It's that time of year again @KCL_MRCDTP studentships are open to applications! Come join us @KingsCollegeLon for a @The_MRC funded project. We have a project investigating synapses and mitochondria in iPSC (NS-MH Project 56): Projects found here kcl-mrcdtp.com/apply/projects/
An excellent opportunity for ECRs! @ScottAllen38 @AmmarAlChalabi @DrCarolineVance @HevMarriott @SarahGornall321
📢 Calling all early career researchers! We are now inviting applications from early career researchers (ECRs) to join our Advisory Board, the steering and reviewing committee for the foundation's Discovery Network. Find out more and apply here 👇 myname5doddie.co.uk/whats-on/artic…
Throughly enjoyed my time at #MNDEnCouRageUK! I have met so many bright minded, dedicated peers & experts. Learned so much about science communication! And most importantly, had the opportunity to connect with people affected by MND. Thank you @mndassoc @mndresearch!
What do roads, movies, maps and cake have in common❓ They were all used by our amazing early career researchers to help explain complex #MND #ALS research! 🔬 Well done to all our speakers who gave amazing talks! 🎉 #MNDEnCouRageUK
Fab to see @LOdemwingie present her research at #MNDEnCouRageUK to people living with and affected by MND. All the talks were amazing 🤩
A great second session of lightning talks, thanks everyone
Excellent school of #neuroscience PhD symposium today @KingsCollegeLon @KingsIoPPN. Congrats to everyone for excellent talks and posters! A particular shoutout to @FarmandSahand for wining best Basic & Clinical Neuroscience poster and best overall poster!😎
Today concludes the 34th International Symposium on ALS/MND. 🔬 Over 1600 people from the #MND community came together to share exciting and promising research. We heard over 100 talks and saw almost 400 posters presented.
Also at her first #alsmndsymp is another amazing PhD student @LOdemwingie co-supervised by @RueppLab and myself! She has a fab poster covering her exciting project looking at the FET proteins in the CNS.

She did the lab proud!
.@mndassoc funded researcher @SaraTacconelli just presented her work at #alsmndsymp. She’s looking at how a protein called FUS interacts with other proteins in neurons. Sara identified over 300 proteins that interact with FUS, which may help us discover what goes wrong in #MND.
Great presentation by @SaraTacconelli at #alsmndsymp on her @mndassoc funded PhD work! @RueppLab and I are super proud supervisors 🥹🧠🔬


Realise this is 20 years since I attended my first -#alsmndsymp in Milan! @RueppLab and I have a tradition of getting our knitting done whilst watching all the amazing talks! @mndresearch

And we are back in person for the first time since 2019! Excited to be here and catch up with colleagues and friends @mndresearch @mndassoc

Only a few days left to apply for this @KCL_MRCDTP studentship! Come and join us!
Looking for an exciting #PhD involving #synapses #RNAbindingproteins and #neurodegeneration then look at this fully funded studentship between myself and Dr Emma Clayton @KCL_MRCDTP @KingsIoPPN kcl-mrcdtp.com/project/synapt…
Great to be at the launch event today in London and to meet and talk with colleagues, patients and funders.
The new UK Motor Neuron Disease Research Institute (UK MND RI) launches today, bringing together a virtual network of MND labs, clinical centres and researchers carrying out world leading research across the UK to accelerate the search for a cure for #MND. ukmndri.org

“One of the early career researchers might just hold the cure in their hands and they just don’t know it yet.” Did you hear about #MNDEnCouRageUK this week but not sure what it is? 👩🔬👨🔬 Watch below to find out why the event is so important in the fight against #MND.
Exciting to see the talks again today and see how the ECRs have taken on board their feedback from their peers and others involved in MND research yesterday!
Our early career researchers are about to share their #MND #ALS research to a new audience - those who their research could benefit! We’re excited to hear about the research and the questions from people living with and affected by MND. #MNDEnCouRageUK
