🔥Hot off the press and in the press🔥Happy to share @karolinskainst press release of our @alzdemjournals paper where we present the first extensive postmartem validation of synaptic PET-tracer UCB-J in Alzheimer’s brain + some unexpected interesting findings! @miriamscarpa4

At #AAIC25? Come check out Danielle Luu's poster, today from 3:30-4 pm "Genetic Variants and Brain Tau" Levels at poster 106. We related genetic variants to PI-2620 tau PET in Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic White older adults 🧠🧬
If you are in beautiful Venice and attending the #EMBOastrocytes workshop then don’t miss the flash talk and poster # 79 of @Avishek92 tomorrow! He is going to present some cool findings from the lab about neuroinflammatory imaging biomarkers!
🚨 New paper out 🚨 Extremely thrilled to the share the Karolinska news release of our 3rd publication in a row! news.ki.se/new-research-unco… @filiparocha12 @Avishek92 @AlzheimrDement Mukesh
Finally, our studies also added support to the “Two wave model” of reactive astrogliosis in Parkinson’s disease by highlighting disease-stage–dependent dynamic changes in tracer binding in PD brains at the end stages of the disease.
🚨 Open PhD Position 🚨 I am looking to hire a doctoral student for a fully funded PhD position focused on understanding the role of neuroinflammation and synaptic loss in Alzheimer’s disease and other proteinopathies with novel PET imaging biomarkers/kidoktorand.varbi.com/en/wha…
The position is based at the @CAR_Karolinska @karolinskainst and will be supported by an excellent team of co-supervisors: Prof. Taher Darreh-Shori , Prof. Henrik Zetterberg & Prof. @TharickAPascoal! Apply with the link or please share with your network😊

Congratulations @miriamscarpa4 on this much needed study on UCB-J! This paper is the fruit of amazing team work and provide a complete snapshot of synaptic changes in PSP patients’ brains!
I'm excited and incredibly proud to share that our ex-vivo study on synaptic changes in PSP is now published!🧠 Thank you to the fantastic team @karolinskainst

📢 Just Published! Happy to share the @karolinskainst news release of our recent study led by @miriamscarpa4 in @AlzheimrDement where we performed the first validation study of UCB-J in PSP patients’ brains! news.ki.se/new-study-sheds-l…
Key takeaway ‘In vivo UCB-J binding might not only reflect synaptic loss but also early synaptic dysfunction’
Extremely grateful to all the funding agencies @alzassociation @Demensforbundet @Alzheimerfonden (& several others) and @NBB_BrainBank

Yesterday, our clinical blood biomarker study, CliPAD, conducted at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC, was featured on NBC’s WPXI news. Take a look at our segment!
We are thankful to @wpxi @alzgpa and the UPMC media team for helping with this feature.
Information on the referral of patients to our CliPAD study can be found in yesterday’s WPXI article: wpxi.com/news/local/upmc-rec…
