Today, on #WorldAlzheimersDay, let's also celebrate the power of fundamental research in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying AD🧠 Did you know that in Alzheimer's certain proteins misfold and aggregate, leading to brain cell damage? #PhasAGEresearch #dementia

🎉Celebrating #PostdocAppreciationDay VUB. We had an welcome speach by vice-rector Pieter Ballon, a talk by Vincent Ginis on #LLMs & #conversationalAI, then brainstorming session followed by social lunch. Finally, I got an intro to #statistics support facility "SQUARE"🙂

📰📊 New preprint! Our systematic analysis uncovers the role of #LLPS-scaffolding fusion proteins in driving #cancer by dysregulating #transcription via ectopic #condensates. 🔗 Link: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Authors: Nazanin Tamas Lazar Peter Tompa Bálint Mészáros Rita Pancsa

This year’s #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to #Hungarian biochemist Katalin Karikó and US immunologist Drew Weissman for discoveries that enabled the development of #mRNA #vaccines against #COVID19 at record-breaking speed.

“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.” Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (Katalin Kariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges. Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her
