Professor @UKDRI at @CardiffUni working on gene editing for the treatment of expanded CAG/CTG repeat disorders. #Huntingtonsdisease, #DM1.
Our new manuscript is online! Cas9 nickase-mediated contraction of CAG/CTG repeats at multiple disease loci biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Giant team effort! Led by the incredible @Alvaro_MurilloB with more help from @mariahlelos, @lab_davidson, and many many more. Here's a thread.
Are you a bioinformatician interested in neurodegeneration? If so we have an exciting opportunity for you to join the lab. You will be helping unravel the molecular mechanisms of Alzheimer's using multi omics datsets @UKDRI Cardiff. @demrescommunity tinyurl.com/y5sckny2
We are lucky to be among the funded projects (We’re in good company!) We’re de-risking our gene editing approach for expanded repeat disorders (e.g. Huntington’s disease, myotonic dystrophy…). One step closer to the clinic! ukdri.ac.uk/news-and-event…
I did a podcast. On #huntingtonsdisease. And #geneediting. So have a listen! open.spotify.com/episode/5aPX6X…
I’ll drop this link her for anyone fancying being recruited as the new centre director for the @UKDRI at Cardiff uni. ukdri.ac.uk/vacancies/cent…
Alright people, we need a new director. We’re a fun bunch and we do outstanding science. #neurodegeneration #PD #Huntington #Alzheimers For more info, see link below and/or DM me! @UKDRI @neurosciencecu krb-sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Search…
I am very honored to speak at the Xmas meeting at the @InstitutoCajal in the new @Ci2A_CSIC about the research we conduct in @VDion_and_Lab. Looking forward to connecting with amazing researchers and engaging in scientific discussions. @UKDRI @cardiffuni @CSIC @SENC_
Looking forward to talking about my work at @VDion_and_Lab and meet fantastic researchers at @UBneuroscience @HDAwareness2024 @EuroHuntington @AsociacionAVAEH @EHDN_News @UKDRI @cardiffuni #Huntingtonsdisease #myotonicdystrophy1 #CRISPR
Is there a safe strategy to potentially reverse the progression of neuromuscular diseases? Join us for a fascinating talk by Álvaro Murillo from the UK Dementia Research Institute @cardiffuni 🗓️November 21st at 12:00h 🔗drive.google.com/file/d/1zf4xUP…
Looking forward to presenting my Pilot Grant project at @UKDRI Connectome. Many thanks to @VDion_and_Lab for his support and to all my collaborators @isaacs_adrian @DayneBeccano #ThomasMassey @mariahlelos #HuntingtonDisease #CRISPR #TeamWork #neuroscience
An important and exciting step towards counteracting DNA repeat expansions in clinical setting. Read the new Editor's choice paper from the @VDion_and_Lab in NAR Molecular Medicine
Our article on how Cas9 nickase induces contraction of expanded CAG repeats is published! Go on, read it, you know you want to. One step closer to the clinic! (But still some ways to go…) academic.oup.com/narmolmed/arti…
Our preprint is online. CCG interruptions are unstable and hypermethylated in DM1 patients. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…. A great collaborative effort! Thank you to all the authors. @drsarahdoom @PacBio @researchmyology @Inst_Myologie @institut_curie @DM1research @dm_scope
