I am proud of my fantastic lab co-workers and their dedication to the cause!
On this #WorldParkinsonsDay we affirm our commitment to studying this disease until much-needed biomarkers and preventive therapies transform the current care of patients. We use #PD iPSC models, genetic screens and the study of patients biosamples. ⤵️
Thank you @Reyesneuroscie1 and Linköping Neuroscience community for inviting me to talk at your retreat. Great discussions surrounded by beautiful scenery!
Well done Chen on securing the @alzheimerssoc fellowship and welcome to our lab!
Big thanks to @GeorgeTofaris for the amazing opportunity to learn new skills, explore beautiful Oxford, and work with such a friendly team! And a huge thank you to my funders @AlzSocResearch @Co_Biologists for supporting my visit! 🧠
Great #CRISPR workshop at #MertonCollege organised by @eyeMacLaren where our post doc, Dr. Ana Aragón @AnaAragonG presented her work on inducible CRISPRi gene silencing in iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons from Parkinson’s patients 🧠 🔗shorturl.at/atoDj @NDCNOxford
Congratulations to @ShijunVictorYan @TofarisLab @NDCNOxford @KavliOxford for completing a very successful DPhil! With three first author papers & several awards he has been an exceptional graduate student. Well done Dr Yan! Thank you to Alex Thompson and Tim Bartels for examining
🎉 Congratulations to Dr Suman Dutta @_Suman_Dutta for winning the @AlzResearchUK TVN video and flash talk awards for his research on brain-derived EVs. #Parkinson @NDCNOxford @KavliOxford
Many congratulations to our #DPhil student Joanna Komorowska @TofarisLab @KavliOxford @NDCNOxford who was awarded the Gustav Born Scholarship in Biomedical Sciences @SPC_Oxford to study an iPSC-based model of #Parkinson's disease. Well done!
Well done to our #DPhil student Hung-Ju Chueh @TofarisLab who won the best poster prize for his work on Neuron-Microglia interactions in an iPSC-based model of #Parkinson's disease @OxfordPDCentre Research Day!
Did you know that probable corticobasal degeneration has a long preclinical phase? Together with @XinYouTai we identified a case with a decade-long prodrome on neuroimaging. …mentdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/md…
A wonderful atmosphere today at the 7km fun run @BlenheimPalace, in our case promoting the benefits of exercise in #Parkinson's. @Blenheim7k
Promising results with allogenic stem cell regenerative therapy in Parkinson's disease reported in 2 studies showing safety, tolerability and some motor improvement. More evidence is needed but Parkinson's is a diffuse disease also with non-motor symptoms nature.com/articles/d4158…
Thank you to all who attended or made the meeting possible. We have a wonderful community of synuclein enthusiasts. See you at Aarhus in 2027!
Thanks to all who attended #Synuclein2025, our organising committees, our Chairs and our Sponsors 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Enormous thanks and congratulations to our Co-Chairs Maria Grazia Spillantini and @GeorgeTofaris 👏👏👏 #Synuclein2025 #Syn2025 #Cambridge2025
On World Parkinson’s Day the #synuclein2025 meeting takes place in Cambridge discussing advancements in understanding disease,progressing therapeutic candidates&diagnostics.Great to see the progress &hope among researchers, foundations,people with Parkinsons and industry partners
World Parkinson’s day got off to a flying start with a 5km fun run at the Synuclein2025 conference today. Today is the 4th day of cutting edge research to better understand the role of alpha-synuclein in Parkinson’s. @ParkinsonsUK is proud to sponsor this event.
Wonderful to see everyone at the #synuclein2025 dinner last night at King’s College - thank you all for making it such a great occasion #syn2025 #cambridge2025 #kingscollegecambridge
Thank you for organizing such a productive meeting @GeorgeTofaris Maria Grazia Spillantini. @Synuclein215707 #WorldParkinsonsday
Fantastic meeting organized by Maria Grazia Spillantini @SpillantiniLab and George Tofaris @GeorgeTofaris #Synuclein2025 thank you and I am already looking forward to the next Synuclein Meeting!
Excellent #Synuclein2025 meeting in Cambridge. Great presentations, breadth of perspectives and discussions, and superb venue and organisation. Looking forward to Aarhus in 2027. Thank you @GeorgeTofaris and @SpillantiniLab
What a great way to mark #WorldParkinsonsDay this morning at @Synuclein215707 Thanks to everyone who got up early to run!
It’s #worldparkinsonsday and here at #Synuclein2025 we marked it with a 5K run through Cambridge #syn2025 #Cambridge2025 @ParkinsonsUK
