Check out our recent publication about the role of DNA methylation during oligodendrocyte differentiation. 🧬 Many thanks to all co-authors from BIOMED_UHasselt & Maastricht University! #oligodendrocyte #methylation #myelin doi.org/10.1007/s00018…

What if you could help people with #dementia by giving them a big hug? Might sound crazy, but #neuroscientist Philippos Koulousakis @UHasselt explains why he looks at #oxytocin, the hugging hormone, to boost the brains of patients with #Alzheimersdisease 👉sciencefiguredout.be/oxytocin-again…

My first #Myelin GRS/GRC was a blast! It was a pleasure to meet so many amazing scientists in the field, listen to their interesting talks and discuss my own research during the poster sessions. All of this surrounded by the beautiful mountains of Tuscany. I love my job ❤️

Great news for our group today! One of our PhD students, Sarah Chenine, is a recipient of the FWO fundamental research fellowship this year!! Congratulations! 🥳🎉🧠👩🏻‍🔬🔬🧬 BIOMED_UHasselt Universiteit Hasselt

Excited to share our latest data on the epigenomic and transcriptomic profile of chronically demyelinated MS lesions, recently published as a preprint on bioRxiv. 🧬 RICE group 🧠🧬🔬 Tim Vanmierlo BIOMED_UHasselt biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Mijn universiteit. Mijn werkplek. Mijn thuis. 🤍

What a nice way to start the weekend! 😁 I just got awarded the best oral presentation at the Flemish MS research days. Congrats to all the other awardees! 👏🏼

Congratulations to Dr. Melissa Schepers for defending her PhD thesis on PDE4 inhibition: a novel approach to treat demyelinating disorders. 🥂 Proud of you for this major achievement👏🏼 Congratulations 🥳 Maastricht University BIOMED_UHasselt Universiteit Hasselt

Hora est! 👩🏻‍🎓 Yesterday marked a milestone in my academic career. I successfully defended my thesis “Relieving the epigenetic blockade in progressive MS - making remyelination accessible again”, the result of my joint PhD between Universiteit Hasselt and Maastricht University.

Our latest paper is out in Acta Neuropathologica! 🤩 Check out our study on the transcriptomic and epigenomic profile of chronic demyelinated MS lesions. 🧬 A major thanks to all collaborators! 🙌🏼 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Excited to present my poster today at the Glia conference in Berlin about our latest publication on DNA methylation and myelination in Multiple sclerosis. 🧠🧬 #glia2023 #myelin Tim Vanmierlo RICE group 🧠🧬🔬

The last remaining work of my PhD got published today 🥳 In this communication, we highlight the possible effects of long term sample storage on blood DNA methylation patterns. 🧬👩🏻‍🔬 Tim Vanmierlo RICE group 🧠🧬🔬 mdpi.com/1422-0067/25/6…
