Biology doesn’t care about age, geography, or labels—it connects us in ways we don’t expect. In this short video, Toby explains how rare childhood brain disorders link to adult neurodegeneration, & why real progress comes from families, open science, & working together globally.

Last week, our PhD student Toby Curless shared insights from his project, Long-read sequencing to investigate the tau (MAPT) locus in dementia at the ALS–FTD Monthly Network Seminar at @UCLIoN. 🧬🧠 @CurlessToby @UCLBrainScience @AlzResearchUK

We had an incredible day at Little House of Science Summer Camp exploring neuroscience & genetics.🧠🧬 From decoding DNA structure to building neuron models, it was a joy to share our work with curious young minds. Huge thanks to @lhouseofscience team for hosting us! ✨ @UCLIoN

🗓️ Mark your calendars! Join Toby Curless, Alzheimer’s Research UK PhD Student & UCL Dementia MSc alumnus, for a Reddit AMA on r/iAmA. 🧠 📅 19 May ⏰ 3-5pm BST Ask about his MSc Dementia experience, PhD journey, and current research! #RedditAMA #DementiaResearch @UCLIoN

Enhancing levels of ‘healthy fats’ like omega-3s in the brain could be beneficial in motor neurone disease (MND) finds a new study in fruit flies and brain cells, led by @UCLIoN researchers. bit.ly/43aSwl6

Cian & Jordan Adams joins Tommy to talk on their experiences and raising awareness on Frontotemporal Dementia👏 #TommyTiernanShow

Dementia devastates almost a million lives in the UK, and right now, there are no NHS treatments to stop it. But we're changing that. Our new film highlights how we must come together to power the research #ForACure. A huge thank you to actor Stephen Graham for lending his voice and standing with us.

Check out the latest article from the ION-DRI Newsletter about our lab. Learn more about our ongoing research & the work we're doing to better understand the genetic mechanisms behind neurological diseases! 🧬🧠 @UCLIoN @UCLBrainScience @UKDRI ucl.ac.uk/ion-dri-programme/…

Listen to Prof. Sir John Hardy (@UCLIoN) talk about the future of identifying, detecting and treating Alzheimer’s disease including "better drugs and earlier diagnosis". Listen from 26 mins, 55 secs on @BBCSounds: bbc.in/4gNBf5s

You're back to work, so are our researchers searching #ForACure! 🧑‍🔬🔬 Meet Toby! Watch Toby talk about his typical day below 👇

.@uclh has recruited the first participant to a global study in Alzheimer’s Disease of a new drug in early development. uclhospitals.brc.nihr.ac.uk/… @ucl @NIHRresearch @alzassociation @SRausingTrust

⭐️The UK DRI exists to transform the lives of people affected by or at risk of neurodegenerative conditions.⭐️ Our vision is ‘healthy brain🧠ageing for all’. Our research will transform lives. We are the UK DRI. @The_MRC @alzheimerssoc @AlzResearchUK @lifearc1 @TheBHF @NIHRresearch

Repeat expansion mutations are more common than previously observed, according to a new whole genome sequencing study. @QMUL. #raredisease #genetics ow.ly/okyK50TNWhW

So happy to finally be starting my @AlzResearchUK funded PhD at @UCLIoN studying MAPT. Can’t wait to see what the next 4 years will bring!

A massive congratulations to @GrizzlyAdams_78 & Cian Adams, and the rest of their team on completing an incredible journey from John O'Groats to Land's End! 🎉 More than 900 miles under their belts to raise vital funds towards research that will help us get ever closer to finding a cure for dementia.

Today is #WorldAlzheimersDay. A day to raise awareness of #dementia and the enormous impact that it has on millions of lives globally. At @UCL we are committed to tackling this global challenge. Read our ground-breaking research stories: bit.ly/3z1Nnir #UCLDementia

Out today in @TheLancetNeuro — we review excess brain volume loss following amyloid immunotherapy and conclude that it is *not* related to neuronal loss. Download here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1jnzE… #ARPA @chris_belder @TheLancetNeuro

Our researchers share why finding a cure is personal & meaningful in their work. Almost everyone knows someone affected by dementia, with 1 in 2 of us devastated by it. Our researchers are amongst those who have been impacted & are trying to change the ending for millions.

Men in STEM please stop doing things like this!!!!

After giving a talk at a conference recently, I received an email from an unfamiliar senior professor in the audience remarking that my “look has extremely improved over the years” from “nerdy lab mouse” to “a touch of upper class.” 1/4
