It was great to attend Alzheimer’s Research UK #ARUKConf25 conference in Birmingham and present my poster, I am looking forward to coming back into the lab with many new ideas
The authors show data indicating that soil extracts contain boba fide prion infectivity following inoculation into transgenic mice. IMO, this is some of the strongest evidence to date for environmental prions.
Today we introduce a new drug candidate for prion disease: a PrP-lowering divalent siRNA. A 4-year collaboration with @RTI_UMassChan enabled by @NINDSfunding IGNITE & URGenT mechanisms. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Our hope is to advance this to the clinic, wish us luck!
A Merry Christmas evening at the prion Unit 🥽🎄

Before we leave the #Prion2024 conference in Nanchang, me and @IoannaChat have more very serious research business to attend to at this prestigious institution.
Congratulations to the Unit’s PhD student Tom Trainer (supervised by Szymon Manka) who won joint first place poster prize at #prion2024 for work on fluorescent imaging of prion fibrils in and on cells.
I had the exciting opportunity to present a poster at #Prion2024 , organized in the Jiangxi province of China. Many thanks to the amazing organizers!
Very engaging evening with @AlzResearchUK London network open day!
Please Share -> The London Network Open Day is taking place on Saturday 13th July 2024, 10am – 4pm at @ucl @UCLBrainScience. This event is a great opportunity for the general public to engage with Alzheimer’s research in a fun and interactive way. @ARUKscientist @AlzResearchUK
Huge thank you to @supportcjd committee member @lizziehill35 of @MRC_Prion for representing us and attending the Francis Crick Institute Rare Disease Conference in London yesterday. Pictured here with a fellow PhD student 💛😀
