Glad to see this work finally out! A joy working with the incredible Nurun Fancy to figure out the interaction between TREM2 and CD33, how TREM2 variants differ and what happens to other cell types in cases with TREM2 variants. Thanks to everyone involved in the study, it was a great team effort!

Could improving the way we collect & store brain tissue help better preserve it for research? A study by Dr @jojacksonhere.bsky.social & Prof Paul Matthews (UK DRI at Imperial) with researchers at McGill University reveals temperature plays a greater role than previously thought👉 lnkd.in/eG6yqJzD

sure grants and papers are exciting but seeing a new synaptic marker fluorescing down a microscope...priceless

Pleasure to collaborate with Jo Anne Stratton @theneuro.bsky.social funded by @hbhlmcgill.bsky.social and @ukdri.ac.uk. We show that post mortem processing conditions have differential effects on the brain's transcriptome. And temperature may play more of a role in good quality brain tissue.

Super proud PI 🤩 Listen to Tatiana's findings about synaptic proteomic changes in AD progression!

the number of deadlines I have for the first 10 days of January is incredible...grant reviews, grant rebuttals, reference requests, marking...anyone would think that academics don't need a winter break...sigh

Come and hear about how the synaptic protein, SV2a, is not always found at synapses. To find out where else it is, come and see our group's poster #384 today. #AAIC25

Why do 95% of new drugs fail? Often, it's the wrong drug target. Researchers from @imperialbrains.bsky.social mapped how genes worked in 2.3M+ brain cells. The result? Dozens of promising new drug targets for brain conditions like #Alzheimers and #Parkinsons. www.imperial.ac.uk/news/259876/...

One official year in (after many official years) of the Jackson lab and celebrated with a 'sip n paint' neon masterclass. Looking forward to the year ahead and pleased to have the best team on board. Watch this space for our work coming out in the synaptic multi-'omics space in 2025

first week here and a couple of points/questions: 1. really nice to see some familiar people who dropped off twitter🤩 2. everyone seems friendly/constructive...long may that continue🤞 3. I have a 'science' tab at the top and, whilst I love general science, how can I see more neuroscience/biology?🧪
