Thrilled to share my first first-author paper is out in Neuron! We show that Alzheimer's disease protective CLU alleles upregulate CLU in response to neuropathology, dampening inflammatory signaling between microglia and astrocytes. Read here sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A big day for the TYP lab! Master's student Emma Karp successfully defended her incredible thesis work today where she's been working with Gizem TerzioÄźlu on studying how SHIP1 regulates lysosomal function in microglia. She will be missed!

Excited to see our recent study featured on Alzforum! Thank you for highlighting our new study on how AD risk variants at the CLU locus lower astrocytic clusterin, disrupt neuroimmune crosstalk, and drive synapse loss. Read it here: alzforum.org/news/research-…
