Been at the @ARUKscientist conference, hearing latest dementia research & catching up with friends & collaborators from across UK. My @Dementia_Omics team got an opportunity to present posters on our ongoing epigenomic/transcriptomic work in AD, PD, DLB & HD too 🍊💜🧡#ARUKconf25

Two linked papers from @katielunnon & @maasuniversity indicate that epigenetic blood markers can help understand #dementia risk https://t.co/dN33pECbgz

Yesterday I got to watch five of my PhD students graduate. 🧑🎓📚 Very proud of them all 🤩 In the rush to get there I grabbed 2 right shoes - managed to jam my left foot into 1 for the day but was not comfortable and sure I was walking oddly 🙈 @Dementia_Omics

Yesterday marked the end of an era, with my last grant review board meeting as chair for @ARUKscientist. After nearly 8 years on the board, with 4 as chair, it’s been incredible to witness both the phenomenal growth of the charity, and the incredible projects they have funded! 🍊

Had a really enjoyable visit to the Brain Research Institute at the University of Zurich to discuss our recent epigenomic studies in dementia. Thanks for the invitation to share our work 🧠 🧬 👩🔬
Started the week with a highlight! @katielunnon visited HiFo to give a seminar on her work. Finally we could catch up, i.e. about my lovely former colleagues from @Dementia_Omics and their achievements. Wrapped up with dinner with @IsabelleMMansuy @RodrigoArzt @MariaDimitriu3

Really pleased to have passed my viva and couldn't have done it without the great support of my supervisors, especially @katielunnon. The rest of the @Dementia_Omics lab got me here too. An amazing bunch of people
