Congratulations to Dr greg wheildon from Dementia Genomics Team who passed his PhD Viva this week! Thanks to BRACE Dementia Research for funding this important research Exeter Neuroscience University of Exeter Faculty of Health & Life Sci, his examiners Dr Chloe Wong @wendyjnoble Jon Brown and co-supervisors Dr Bex Smith 🌈 and Adam Smith

Really pleased to have passed my viva and couldn't have done it without the great support of my supervisors, especially Professor Katie Lunnon. The rest of the Dementia Genomics Team lab got me here too. An amazing bunch of people

More good PhD news this week from the group! Congratulations to Dr Michael Schrauben who passed his PhD viva yesterday! University of Exeter Faculty of Health & Life Sci Exeter Neuroscience Professor Katie Lunnon Emma Dempster

Congratulations to Dr Josh Harvey who passed his PHD viva this week from our Dementia Genomics Team group. Thanks to joint supervisor Ehsan Pishva from Dementia Systems Biology Group and his examiners

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 🧠 🧬 👩‍🔬

If you are at #ADPD2024 in Lisbon come see our posters of our studies of DNA methylation meta-analyses in Lewy body disease led by Josh Harvey and Jennifer Imm, and spatial transcriptomics in the J20 amyloid model led by Millie Sander

Fantastic talk at #ADPD2024 on DNA methylation signatures associated with depression in Parkinson’s brain samples by our Josh Harvey . If you want to read more check out our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are recruiting a PhD student to work with myself, Ehsan Pishva and Josh Harvey exploring the role of microRNAs in Dementia with Lewy Bodies in Dementia Genomics Team at University of Exeter Faculty of Health & Life Sci, funded by the Charles Wolfson Trust! Closing date is 7th April! findaphd.com/phds/project/e…

Definitely had fomo this week as couldn’t attend #ARUKConf24 - the first one I have missed in well over a decade! Looking forward to hearing about it next week from some of the Dementia Genomics Team team who went 🍊 🧬 🧠 🧫 Josh Harvey greg wheildon Jennifer Imm Exeter Neuroscience

More good PhD news from Dementia Genomics Team - congratulations to Lachlan from my group who passed his PhD, and a big thank you to his examiners Prof David Llewellyn and ConceiçãoBettencourt. It’s been a busy year, with 5 PhD students in the group submitting and passing since September! 🎉 👨‍🎓

Yesterday marked the end of an era, with my last grant review board meeting as chair for Research at ARUK. 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! 🍊

We have a funded 3.5 year PhD studentship exploring genomic mechanisms underlying resilient and susceptible neurons to tangle pathology in AD brain. Come work in the Dementia Genomics Team team at University of Exeter Faculty of Health & Life Sci with myself, Jennifer Imm and Adam Smith! Check it out: exeter.ac.uk/study/funding/…

All set up at Twickenham for our Devon women’s Gill Burns County Championship Final Division 3 Final against Cumbria. Catch the team on livestream (I’m the manager not a player 😂)👇 youtube.com/watch?v=YMQljW…

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 Genomics Team

A really great blog by Michael Coleman 👏

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