Grateful for the invitation to speak at Emerging Leaders in Neuroscience Seminar @weillcornell.bsky.social

My talk , “Beyond the Brain: Clues from Platelets in Alzheimer’s Pathology,” explored what platelets can tell us about AD disease progression/prognosis.

Thrilled to be awarded a 3 yr @ahascience.bsky.social Transformational Project Award to investigate how platelet UPR drives functional fidelity in aging/CVD.
This takes forward my research on platelet protein aggregates in Alzheimer (AHA CDA).❤️↔️🧠

MEK1/2 inhibitors suppress pathological α-synuclein and neurotoxicity in cell models and a humanized mouse model of Parkinson’s disease

MEK1/2 inhibitors lowered pathological αsyn in a humanized mouse model, suggesting an oral treatment strategy for Parkinson’s disease.

We’re the heroes in our own blockbuster life movies—the genre may be action, drama, comedy or tragedy. Dont judge the music of one with the special effects of another.

Cheer for the effort, not just the award…

Choosing the Right Lens: Pf4 vs. Gp1b in Viewing Platelet COX-1.

An ATVB blog article where we discuss the recent ATVB study comparing Pf4-Cre & Gp1ba-Cre models, highlighting how COX-1 depletion affects thrombogenesis & atherogenesis differently.

💊 Thrombocytopenia + antiplatelet therapy = a tricky balance. New study from Wolfgang Bergmeier team shows clopidogrel increases bleeding risk, while aspirin may be safer.

What does this mean for patients? Find out: www.rpthjournal.org/article/S247...

In the exact same position- hope our love for science and what we do triumphs over all this….gone through all the phases of anger, denial, frustration and now resigned to just give my best shot as and when feasible…
