CA1 projection neurons and all their bounty! 🤩

Bienkowski Lab at #AAIC2024 ! 🧠🤓@zmsmith13 @angelajhurtado Bayla Breningstall @mc_pachicano @shreyymehtaa @USCLONI
#AAIC2024 starts today! Check out our lab’s poster presentations: @DrTerriStephen online, Bayla Breningstall today, @mc_pachicano Tuesday, Zion Smith Wednesday!
Thanks @vizgen_inc for helping celebrate the beauty in mouse models to study Alzheimer’s disease 💜
🎉 Congrats to our very own @mc_pachicano for her @vizgen_inc 2024 MERSCOPE® Data Image Calendar Contest win! Her beautiful mouse brain image was selected for November, also #alzheimers awareness month 🧠👏🥇 bit.ly/4bLPKoi
Great science can’t be done without a great team! Happy holidays everyone ⭐️
Celebrating another successful and fun year for our lab! 🧠🧪🧬 🎉 Needless to say, our brain holiday model took the cake in this year’s contest! 🐀🎉
⚠️ Check out our lab's first preprint! Machine learning 🖥️ for AD pathology using invaluable USC ADRC human tissue sections to #ENDALZ 🧠🌟
Our lab's first preprint is out! A fully quantitative digital pathology study of amyloid and tau pathology using human hippocampal sections from the USC ADRC. Many interesting findings point toward diffuse amyloid as the main contributor to amyloid burden and cognitive impairment

Shrey’s hard work and dedication to Alzheimer’s research is astounding 🤩 thanks for being apart of my PhD journey.
Mid-semester excursion to SfN! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience🧠🥂 Huge shoutout to @mc_pachicano for having me along for the journey!🤓
The best mommy mentor anyone could ever have ✨
A happy day for a neuroscientist when her children present posters at @SfNtweets 2024!! 💟🥰
#AAIC24 For All ✨ was the perfect opportunity to share the ~magic~ of studying the brain 🧠 with my partner. Jose only got a glimpse, but I am thankful that now our #1 supporters, families and friends can also experience what is being done to finally #ENDALZ 💜

Awesome poster by @zmsmith13!!!!
Excited to attend my first research symposium and share my work on neurodegenerative changes in the 5xFAD mouse model! 🧠✨ Feeling inspired by all the incredible research happening in this field! #AAIC2024 #BienkowskiLab
Check out our poster if you wanna talk about cell type susceptibility in AD! 🧠🐭🔬@shreyymehtaa @angelajhurtado #AAIC24

During this morning’s plenary session, @DrMariaALZ shared some exciting #AAIC24 stats: 🔬 8,500 attendings are here in Philly and 4,500 are joining us online 🔬 57% of attendees are women 🔬 One-third of attendees are under age 35 🔬500 attendees are AAIC conference…
Can’t wait for #AAIC24! Phili here we come! 🥳🧠
#AAIC24 #AAIC2024 Here we go!! Welcome to Philadelphia! #ISTAART and global community fighting to ##ENDALZ and ALL dementia 💜
Couldn’t have made it to PhD Candidacy without my team! 🧠 Grateful for these devoted students who continue to inspire and motivate me in the fight to #ENDALZ 💜

#AAIC is always so fun and memorable! 🧠🌟 We all gather in the fight to #ENDALZ!!! 💜 Science is making true impact on people’s lives and we are all in it together ⚡️At AAIC we come together to celebrate the progress and create new collaborations to accelerate our work 🧬🔬




The donut wall has to be one of the best things AAIC has ever done 😭 #AAIC23
