We hosted the first ever SCMND meeting earlier this year - so thrilled it was a great meeting and a huge success (phew!). We'll be back in 2027, so keep an eye out for us!

Amazing to bring researchers from around the world together with CURE-ND for the first Stem Cell Models of Neurodegeneration (SCMND) Conference in Edinburgh earlier this year 🧠 Check out the conference blog 👉 ukdri.ac.uk/news-and-event…

New topical review from Verity Mitchener, @ThackrayMi79264 and Lorena Arancibia-Cárcamo of @UKDRI on the glia-immune network in health and disease, with a focus on how astrocytes and oligodendrocytes coordinate microglia in Alzheimer's disease pathology physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP…

New research led by @marcaurelbusche has found that tau specifically disrupts a certain type of electrical activity in the hippocampus in Alzheimer's🧠 The findings unlock a key piece of the puzzle in understanding how toxic tau drives memory problems👏👉buff.ly/yx8Rdk6

We all had a super time at #Tau2025 this week! Learned a thing or two, made some new collabs and caught up with good friends! Thank you so much @RCFNeuro, @CurePSP, @alzassociation & @PSPAssociation 😊

Was an absolute honor to share the stages with other warriors impacted by Tau. Our stories are stronger when they are shared together! Thank you @alzassociation, @CurePSP and @RCFNeuro for hearing the patients! #endftd #tau2025

What a fantastic #WorldParkinsonsDay which the @UKDRI @cardiffuni shared with the Parkinson's community! We learned so much and have come out with new ideas and perspectives for the road ahead. Thank you to all involved and we really look forward to the next steps together!

Thank you to all those who attended the inaugural Stem Cell Models of Neurodegeneration event last week in Edinburgh! A fantastic scientific programme including some very special plenary speakers - Sonia Gandhi, @mahmoudbukar and @Sergiu_P_Pasca 🙌

Honoured to have given a plenary talk at the #SCMN conference last week in Edinburgh on our efforts to generate diverse #iPSCs from Indigenous Africans to model neurodegenerative diseases. It was equally inspiring to learn from so many brilliant speakers—especially plenary…

Day 1 of #SCMND2025 today! The Edinburgh weather was glorious and the science was incredible 😍😍 Looking forward to Day 2! @UKDRI
