Sophie L. Farrow

Super excited & grateful to be awarded a @ParkinsonsUK senior research fellowship for research into prioritising gene & drug targets for Parkinson's disease. Looking forward to working with everyone in the @WadeMartinsLab & @OxfordPDCentre @UniofOxford #Parkinsons #fellowship

Super proud of Libby Cowan for smashing her masters project “Mapping 3D chromatin profiles in sporadic Parkinson’s disease using iPSC-derived microglia” with top marks and being the best student a supervisor could wish for 🌟 we’ll miss you! @OxfordPDCentre @WadeMartinsLab

Congratulations to Jasmine Blane, one of our ECR @AlzResearchUK TVN Video Award winners. Jasmine's video explains the benefits and impact of collaborations with PPI contributors to dementia research at the @obhctu #dementiaresearch #patientinvolvment #shapingfutures

#MeetTheResearcher Introducing Luise Schlotterose from the Salman Group this week. Luise is a Royal Society Newton International Postdoctoral Fellow working on how head injuries trigger neurodegeneration.

Congratulations to @CharlieInTheLab one of our three winners of the 2025 ECR @AlzResearchUK TVN Video Awards. Charlie's video depicts a worm study assessing the compounds that promote healthy ageing and how new drugs might slow down the aging process. #dementiaresearch

The closing date for this position is fast approaching! Apply now to join the lab @KavliOxford and no later than 30 June at 12 noon @OxfordDPAG @DPAGAthenaSwan @DPAGPostdoc ⬇️

Congratulations to our poster prize winner from Wednesday’s @AlzResearchUK Research day! Hannah Dobbs won with her poster: Understanding Lipid Metabolism in Alzheimer’s Disease with a CRISPR/Cas9 Knockout iPSC-Platform

Congratulations to our ECR Image Award winners from our @AlzResearchUK Research Day! Parnez Sharifi - Functional Landscapes: Dopamine Neurons at the Interface of Bioelectronics @AnneGliaFan - The Heart of Neurogenesis  and @CharlieInTheLab - Team Spirit in Technicolour

A really wonderful day showcasing a wide range of impactful research being done by the amazing scientists in our network, and a huge pleasure to have @FionaDucotterd & @theftdbrothers involved in the day too. @ARUKscientist @ARUKThamesV #dementiaresearch #foracure

A fantastic morning at the @AlzResearchUK Research Day! An emotional and inspiring talk by Jordan Adams set the tone for a day of brilliant science, including a great keynote from @FionaDucotterd on advancing medicines for neurodegenerative diseases.

The 5 R's of drug discovery in the words of @FionaDucotterd! Fantastic insights into making medicines for neurodegenerative diseases in the keynote address at the Thames Valley ARUK Research Day 🍊 @AlzResearchUK

OPDC hosts the 2025 Oxford Parkinson’s Research Day @KavliOxford dpag.ox.ac.uk/news/oxford-pa… @OxfordDPAG @OxNeuro @DPAGPostdoc @DPAGAthenaSwan @TofarisLab @NDCNOxford @MRCBNDU

Yesterday, ECRs heard from @AlzResearchUK leaders Selina Wray & Emma Mead on communicating dementia research to the public. Powerful stories from volunteers & a workshop by Quang Tran left them inspired by the real-world impact of their work #foracure

Are you an iPSC expert and interested in Alzheimer's disease? My colleague, Dr Hugo Fernandes (and the wider GSK-IMCM AD team), is looking for a new post-doc to take on this exciting project - check it out. #jobopportunity #stemcells #alzheimers jobs.ac.uk/job/DMV315/pos…

A great morning of work at the @rosehillcommunity centre at one of our @AlzResearchUK collaborative community ventures to engage more diverse ethnicities to talk about dementia and brain health. If you are interested to get involved, please DM me!! 🙏🧡 #foracure

Today is #WorldParkinsonDay and we’re raising awareness of the condition and our support services. If you or a loved one needs support, we're here. Call our helpline, 0808 800 0303, or visit prksn.uk/4jhbDhY. Because, until we find a cure, there’s Parkinson’s UK. #WPD2025

To celebrate #WorldParkinsonsDay we are sharing you a photo of the wonderful lab researchers working hard to find a cure for #Parkinsons Disease #WPD2025 @WadeMartinsLab @SophieFarrow2 @MootazSalman @KavliOxford @OxfordDPAG @OxNeuro @ParkinsonsUK @MRCBNDU @NDCNOxford

Extremely proud to share a platform last week, with Jordan Adams @theftdbrothers and Scott Mitchell, @AlzResearchUK People’s Champion, to show case the important work going on in the Thames Valley Network, @OxfordDPAG @OxfordBRC @DementiasUK @demrescommunity

Big Parkinson's news. Big open science. Check the preprint for the new GWAS from 100s of collaborators across the globe led by Hampton from our team @DataTecnica. >1.8 samples and 157 risk variants.

We’re excited to announce that we're joining forces with the UK Dementia Research Institute, @UKDRI, to establish a pioneering research centre to better understand the causes of Parkinson’s and to find better treatments for the condition. Find out more: prksn.uk/3QLQReh
