I am delighted to receive the ‘One to Watch’ Award🏅 from the @alzassociation! In such difficult times for doing research in 🇧🇷, it makes me confident that I am following the right pathway! But as I said at #AAICNeuro live session: It is all about team work! 1/1.
Congratulations to @ufrgsnoticias Assistant Professor @erzimmer, recipient of the #AAICNeuro ‘One to Watch’ Award. Dr. Zimmer’s laboratory @zimmerneurolab focuses on understanding the cellular origins of Alzheimer's disease, with a particular interest in astrocytes.

If you believe, you're unstoppable! The work of @alzassociation is helping researchers in LMIC, like me, to be part of the scientific community and contribute to #ENDALZ 💜.
“If we believe we can change things, we can. Everyone told me it would be hard to do high-quality research in my home country of Brazil. I saw an opportunity to help people in lower-income countries. My lab now has 37 students.”.- @erzimmer, @ISTAART member, #ALZFunded

Just out in @NatureMedicine by @LabPascoal et al! In this spectacular work (three cohorts, n > 1,000), @BellaverBruna showed that astrocyte reactivity seems to be the missing link between amyloid and Tau in preclinical #Alzheimers! Well done team! 👏👏👏👏.
Why many Aβ-positive cognitively unimpaired individuals do not develop downstream tau pathology? Our new study led by @BellaverBruna published in @NatureMedicine shows that looking at reactive astrocytes may help start solving this question.
