🚨 Have a look at our new preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A highly collaborative effort where we show that transposable elements are directly linked to a cell-type and region specific inflammatory state in Parkinson’s Disease.

Team Jakobsson gathered in southern Sweden for a few inspiring days discussing PD, transposable elements and future plans. We even squeezed in a hike and enjoyed some beautiful views ☀️🌊 @jakobssonlab.bsky.social @kirkebylab.bsky.social @mollygale.bsky.social @asapresearch.parkinsonsroadmap.org

These past 2 months as a visiting scholar at KU Leuven flew by! It has been so enriching to work side by side with #TeamVoet on @jakobssonasap.bsky.social research into Transposable Elements & Parkinson’s Disease 🧠🧬 Excited for what’s next!
