In June last year our Prof of Imaging Neuroscience Clare Mackay AKA The Trich Prof first spoke publicly about her experience of hair pulling. Now she's organised the UK's first conference on Body Focused Repetitive Behaviours in Sept. Find out more👇 psych.ox.ac.uk/news/first-uk-…

So happy to finally share our pre-print! 🎉 We observed elevated brain lipid levels, particularly sphingolipids and phospholipids, in post-mortem brain tissue from Alzheimer's disease (AD) donors, especially those carrying rare TREM2 mutations! See below for details and link!

Our biomarkers Michael Schmidt working group is welcoming @alexa_pichetb this week to present her recent work on CSF proteomics and ATN staging in the BioFINDER and ADNI cohorts. Thursday 10th 1pm GMT. All welcome - please message for details.

What if we could build the world’s largest plasma proteomics dataset? Global Neurodegeneration Proteomics Consortium did! GNPC contributors have doubled in recent years. Congrats Farhad Imam on your #CTAD24 presentation & thanks to GNPC members & partners for their continued research collaboration in #ADRD.

This months DEMON Network biomarkers working group is on Tuesday with Brook F R Huxford. Details below ⬇️

Thanks to the "3D trial" researchers who committed to testing the iron hypothesis of AD in clinical trial. I'm saddened by the result, but there is so much we learnt. Iron is important for AD, but not in the way that we thought. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Thrilled to share Lachlan’s Lachlan Gilchrist new pre-print "Evaluating metabolome-wide causal effects on risk for psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders”! Please see below for details

🚨 New preprint awaiting feedback! 🚨 led by the lovely and talented Marta looking at the relationship between PDE5 inhibition and Alzheimer's disease using #mendelianrandomization (spolier: we found nada) medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Always a pleasure to be working with Oxford Psychiatry Self Assessment Team. Looking forward to getting the new Athena Swan action plan underway.

On Monday we have our women's health #bookclub meeting 📚 Started this 📙 club for many reasons, including: ➡️ Women’s health is more than just “bikini medicine👙” ➡️ Women often don’t prioritise their own health ➡️ Many topics in #womenshealth remain taboo Let’s change this!

📢December Biomarkers @DEMONNetwork working group will host Dr Alankar Atreya discussing how changes in sleep detected by wrist devices are related to Alzheimer's progression. ⌚️ Wed 11th 10am GMT. All welcome - please message for teams details.

Looking for new post doc role in 2026? 3 year contract working on proteomic data for AD and PD in Oxford. Do get in touch with any questions - would love to hear from you.

Really enjoyed chairing this session on the future of dementia research. Interesting viewpoints from all our experts. #ARUKConf25

Please join the DEMON Biomarkers WG meeting this Wednesday, 12th March, @ 10am GMT. We're excited to have Dorsa Abdolkarimi from Centre for Preventive Neurology who will be presenting on: "Identifying a Signature of Inflammatory Proteins Predicting Dementia." DM me or Laura Winchester for details.
