Post-doc @WickingDementia looking at TBI and dementia (she/her) 🧠👩🏽🔬
I’m so glad I can finally share this news with everyone… our manuscript investigating the microglial proteome following TBI has been published in GLIA!!! @ziebs83 @ABindoff @LivHolloway_ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…
🤔💭Would you want to have a blood test to tell you your risk of developing dementia in the future? 🧠🧐An important and timely question - another inspiring talk by @hannahfair7 @ADRF2024 @eddy_roccati @JamesCVickers @WickingDementia
Huge amount of work in this one - well done @Will_T_OBrien! Thanks to all of our colleagues and @VAFA_HQ partners and participants. @STMneurosci
After sports concussion, blood levels of brain proteins GFAP and NfL are often elevated, but the extent and duration of their elevation can vary greatly. Findings support using biomarkers for guiding diagnosis and safe return to play. ja.ma/4ebPYGo
Check out our latest paper. It has all our favorite things- meninges, lymphatics & neuroinflammation after TBI (and with some cool diagrams to link it all together!). Just in time for @Neurotrauma Congrats to my MS student Alaa! #TBI #NNS2024 jneuroinflammation.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

This Sunday on @einstein_agogo @3RRRFM I will once again be joined by 20 amazing PhD students for #20phds20mins. It will be a fast paced show of 20 different topics. This will be the 9th cohort (10th if you count the virtual program last year!). Those on Twitter include:…
Job Alert 🚨 Come work with us! Senior Project Officer at @ResearchMenzies in the beautiful Hobart Tasmania. See link below to apply. #academicjobs #sciencejobs careers.utas.edu.au/en/job/499877/…
Check out our new work on how microglia interact with the vasculature through astrocyte end feet using the @AllenInstitute #MICrONS cortical mm^3 dataset! Had a great time working with @Gazz4_Science, @BradASutherland and @SorenGrubb to produce this work!
1/ 🔥 Exciting findings from our collaboration between @UTAS_, @SeattleChildrens, and @uni_copenhagen! We've discovered a new way #microglia interact with 🧠 vasculature, which could reshape our understanding of their role in #brain health and disease. 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What an honour to have our Wicking Dementia MOOCs, undergrad and postgrad courses accredited by Alzheimer’s Disease International today - the first in Australia to be recognised. Congratulations to the extended Wicking Family. @WickingDementia @GBHI_Fellows @UTAS_ @JamesCVickers
Our paper on modifiable risk factors and AT(N) criteria is out now in @FrontiersIn. 🙌 Thank you to @AlzData for supporting this work, and providing the #NeuroToolKit on the AD Workbench that enabled this investigation 🧠 tinyurl.com/24tzlmnr
#IfInDoubtSitThemOut goes global as Australia and new Zealand get on board What started as a "why not" conversation with @peterrobinson86 8y ago and led to first Scottish guidance has now become the model for gov and sports across multiple nations. sportaus.gov.au/media_centre/n…
Really excited to share this #research I’ve been working on with @gershonspitz on structural covariance networks in #TBI. rdcu.be/dwq70 Published with @SpringerNature in @SciReports. @CCSNeurosci @Monash_FMNHS @shultz_sandy @ameliajhicks @MonashTrauma
It's that time of year when I start to populate the interview schedule for @einstein_agogo on @3RRRFM. So if you know somebody who would be a good guest, DM me. PhDs, ECRs particularly welcome. Would love to hear from more geologists this year too.
BIO5 member and @uazmedphx research professor Jonathan Lifshitz @ganglion11 along with his collaborators recently received a $2.05M grant to better connect how traumatic brain injuries can impact pregnant women and their children. Read more: bit.ly/4aaD89m
Delighted to be awarded an @nhmrc Ideas grant investigating pericytes, microglia and blood vessel breakdown in Alzheimer's Disease. Looking forward to working with Gary Morris, @ziebs83 and @group_deluca and collaborators on this exciting project. @UTAS_MedSci @WickingDementia
