Happy to share our new preprint, where we find that anle138b reduces Huntingtin inclusions and improves disease phenotypes in #Huntington’s Disease models, showing its potential as an HD treatment. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am looking for two postdocs (fully funded, up to 6 years) and one technician to join my lab for an ERC-funded project. If you are passionate about cell–cell communication and migration in neurodevelopmental tumors, consider applying.The starting date is flexible. Links below.
Thrilled to be part of the new Research Unit on Organismal Proteostasis. Thanks to @TheVilchezLab for all the hard work putting together this consortium, and to @DFG_public for funding our research!
Thrilled to announce that our DFG Research Unit on cell-autonomous regulation of proteostasis has been approved for funding! #aging #proteostasis cecad.uni-koeln.de/outreach/news/…
Open #Postdoc position @isd_research @LMU_Muenchen to develop an #iPSC-derived #BBB model. Fully funded and embedded in our international @FondationLeducq Network of Excellence brenda-leducq.de. Experience in vascular biology or related field required. Please RT and apply!
On Wednesday, February 26, 2025 at 1:00 pm/13:00, Prof. Rüdiger Klein will give a talk in the #CRC1451 Motor Control Science Club on “Brain circuits for appetite control”. 🧠 @UKKoeln @Department of @Neurology, Building 30, Lecture hall. @GattoGraziana
New paper led by @S_Blumenstock shows that targeted stimulation of a subtype of cortical inhibitory neurons can ameliorate motor deficits in Huntington’s disease mice. A great collab with @IrinaDudanova biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
How do different cortical neuron types contribute to circuit dysfunction in #Huntington’s disease? Check out our new collaborative study with @takaki_komiyama, now out as a preprint. A tour de force by @S_Blumenstock. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We are currently hiring a motivated PhD student to study the cerebellar thalamo-cortical loop in mice and contribute to the understanding of the neuronal mechanisms of ataxia (#CRC1451). Please visit: academics.de/jobs/phd-posit…
663 days since the senseless tragedy that took An, we present a manuscript that reports some of the discoveries that she left us. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Postdoc Positions in Molecular Neuroscience/Biochemistry in Berlin to study presynapse formation and ALS funded by ERC and DFG (leibniz-fmp.de/haucke; Rizalar et al (2023) Science). Apply now at short.sg/j/52345086 of e-mail to [email protected] before 1 April 2025.
If you’re still looking for a holiday read we got you covered. Check out our new review where Valerie, Patrik and I @Verstreken_Lab @CBD_VIB discuss how Tau and a-Synuclein could contribute to synaptic dysfunction in #neurodegeneration 🧠
Uytterhoeven, @Verstreken_Lab & @ElianaNachman @KU_Leuven review how Tau and α-Synuclein disrupt presynaptic function via converging pathways in #Alzheimers & #Parkinsons disease and highlight potential therapeutic strategies aimed at preserving synapses. hubs.la/Q030B0vN0
We will be soon hiring #PhDposition + #postdocposition so stay tuned and feel free to contact me before the official job postings are out. We patch, image, crack synaptic mechanisms & track funky mouse behaviors. We are located in party #Cologne
The lab has an open PhD position, to start as soon as possible. Very exciting opportunity to apply/learn miniscope imaging techniques to understand the role of hypothalamic circuits in learning and memory. Please share widely! ovgu.b-ite.careers/56yvk #neuroscience #neurojobs
Congratulations to all the participants, and huge thanks to the whole management team! Looking forward to four years of exciting interactions.
🥳 We are delighted that the DFG is funding our @CRC1451 on #motor_control for another 4 years!! 🎉 Congratulations to everyone involved! 🎊 @UniCologne @UKKoeln portal.uni-koeln.de/en/universitae…
One PhD position open in the Gatto Lab from January 2025 to functionally dissect the input onto hindlimb premotor interneurons during locomotion in physiological and pathological (Huntington disease) states.
Very excited to share the structure and functional characterization of Clusterin, a key extracellular chaperone and apolipoprotein (ApoJ) linked to cancer, cardiovascular pathology and neurodegeneration. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Don't miss our Motor Mastery Symposium on September 5 and 6, 2024. We are looking forward to exciting talks on #motor #control and a lively exchange during the poster sessions. @UKKoeln @UniCologne motormastery.splashthat.com
