🎉 Very proud of our PhD student Marion Decrop for securing a PhD Fellowship from FWO @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social! 👏 🎉

Using pharmacological fMRI 🧲, this fellowship will allow us to understand how the dopaminergic system is functionally impacted in Huntington's disease 🧠

New pre-print from an incredibly productive collaboration between my lab and the team led by @danielebertoglio.bsky.social

Great couple of inspiring days at the #WingsforLife scientific meeting in Salzburg! 🇦🇹
Really pleased to share the update of our project with the🥼community & very thankful for the #funding support on the development of in vivo imaging ☢️ 🧲 #biomakers for spinal cord injury! 🐁🔬

Can we identify biomarkers responsive to mHTT lowering?

In this new study, we investigated 💧 #CSF and ☢️ #PET biomarkers that could be used non-invasively to track 📈 the temporal response to #mHTT modulation in mice 🐭.

How can we quantify 🧠 SV2A PET imaging noninvasively in rats 🐁?

In this new study led by Lori Berckmans, we investigated non-invasive quantification methods for PET imaging with [18F]SynVesT-1 ☢️ as an alternative to blood 🩸 sampling for arterial input function.
