We're very excited to start this impactful research together with our collaborator Fan Liu at the FMP in Berlin. Exciting times ahead!
🐹🔬 @Verstreken_Lab received a @czi award to study the mechanisms of synapse loss and recovery in hamsters, with the goal of gaining insights into how this could be mitigated in human neurodegenerative disorders. Find out more ↘️ https://t.co/5jvdjxMHKS

What a rewarding moment!
🤝 This month, we teamed up with @TAJO to inspire young people to get interested in neuroscience! We touch base with the researcher volunteers from @Verstreken_Lab × @joris_dewit_lab and TAJO educators to find out more about their experience ⬇️ https://t.co/XmZtmrqsVq

The scariest happy hour by the Verstreken lab… who was the real killer? Did the detectives do their job? How did it all end?

We are looking for a new head for our bio-imaging core facility. This facility houses an impressive machine park and is really a splendid opportunity for anyone with a keen interest in pushing the boundaries of imaging and engineering:

⚠️ Great opportunity alert! Our freshest lab @KlinglerEsther is looking for an enthusiastic Masters student with a strong #bioinformatics background to join her research group exploring the developmental trajectories of emotional circuit neurons 🧠📈➡️
klinglerlab.org
The regulation of emotional states and their associated response to fear and stress are critical for organisms to survive, interact with their environment and reproduce.
Want to dig into single-cell and spatial transcriptomics combined with barcoding approaches to study the development of emotional circuits? My lab is seeking a highly motivated master student with a strong background in bioinformatics. Please share and get in touch if interested!

I can only loudly amplify this
''We should listen to initiatives like @EU_Brain #Pledge4Science which ask us to support research on neurodegenerative & psychiatric diseases. We should record with this scientific community that #animaltesting has saved & will continue to save lives'', says @IzaskunBilbaoB MEP.
