Always my favourite post at the beginning of the year: Registration for our course “Biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases” is now open! This year’s edition takes place at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology in central London on May 12-16. biomarker-course.org

🚨New from the #BettencourtLab, by naiomi et al. - DNA methylation as a contributor to dysregulation of STX6 and other frontotemporal lobar degeneration genetic risk-associated loci biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #DNAmethylation #Dementia #FTLD #PSP #FTD UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology Research at ARUK

Join us at DEMON Network's Drug Discovery group for a special event with Prof Azzouz, Founder & Director of the Gene Therapy Innovation & Manufacturing Centre Neuroscience Institute. 🗓️ Jan 31 | 3pm 🇬🇧 Topic: "Sheffield Gene Therapy Ecosystem for Translational Research & Clinical Trials"



Last week was a busy week for the #BettencourtLab, attending the Festival of Genomics 2025, the BNS Neuropathology conference 2025 and much more. Great presentations from the team by naiomi and Kate Fodder 😊! And lots more to celebrate 🥂. #epigenetics #DNAmethylation #Dementia
