Just out - Analysis of the last 30y clinicopathological data in Parkinsonian syndromes and using it to develop framework for Probabilistic diagnostics :rdcu.be/ePjwB With @kailashbhatia @LabGandhi @MDC_IoN_UCL @ImagingNeuroUCL @QSBrainBank #parkinsons

🧵1/ The world’s largest-ever clinical trial to slow or stop Parkinson’s disease has officially launched — led by researchers at @UCLIoN and @UniofNewcastle. A major milestone in the fight against neurodegeneration. ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/oct/larg…

PhD opportunity for clinicians with myself and Sonia Gandhi @LabGandhi @TheCrick working on Multiscale Modelling in Parkinson’s. Details here: crick.ac.uk/careers-study/va… @ABNTrainees @MDC_IoN_UCL #parkinsons

💡 This week, the Government's Chief Medical Officer, Prof Chris Whitty, published his 2024 annual report, 'Health in Cities' 🏙️, outlining a broad range of health opportunities and challenges for city populations. Commenting on the report, Prof Nick Fox, Group Leader, UK DRI at UCL said: "It is excellent that the Chief Medical Officer's report draws attention to the association between air pollution and dementia. Given the devastating impact of dementia, it is vitally important that we do what we can to reduce any modifiable risks. While some risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, and cholesterol can be addressed at an individual level, others, such as air pollution in cities, require cross-Government action in order to reduce the risk of dementia."

Researchers @UCLIoN, @uclcancer and @TheCrick, including @drimrannoorani, Professor Sonia Gandhi @LabGandhi and Professor @CharlesSwanton, have embarked on a new project named RAPID, to establish a causal link between air pollution and #dementia ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/oct/rese…

We know that air pollution contributes to neurodegenerative diseases, but we still need to find out how. Find out more about the new collaborative project by @SwantonLab and @LabGandhi supported by @RacingDementia and @RosetreesT ⤵️ theguardian.com/society/2024…

Congratulations to our director Paul Nurse, who has been elected as the next president of the @RoyalSociety! 🥂 Paul will take up the role in December 2025, after he stands down as director of the Crick next summer. crick.ac.uk/news/2024-10-17_…

Exciting multiscale post-doc opportunity in #Parkinsons @WCHN_UCL & @TheCrick: Combining individual specific cell models @LabGandhi with longitudinal qMRI in the same person to define mechanisms of progression  See link for details: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/search… @OHBM #OHBM2024

Scientists at @ucl and @yourUMG, including Dr Jenny Hallqvist, @Prof_K_Mills & Prof @kailashbhatia @UCLchildhealth @UCLIoN have developed a blood test that uses artificial intelligence to predict #Parkinsons up to seven years before the onset of symptoms ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/jun/bloo…

Exciting job opportunity in Multiscale science & #Parkinsons: Combining in vitro neural dynamics @LabGandhi with whole brain in vivo histology @WCHN_UCL measured in the same person to help understand the mechanisms of progression See link for details: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/search…

👂Listen to Dr Christian Lambert @clambert112358 @uclion discuss an exciting new project that uses the power of music to “highlight and bring attention to the hidden face of Parkinson’s” on @BBCr4today (from 48 mins) bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001x4n…

A new music album based on the tremors of people with Parkinson’s has been launched by a team of UCL researchers, in order to help provide relief for people with the condition. Learn more about this beautiful project: ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/mar/rese…

There is a crisis in clinical academia in the UK. We talk of the need to expand medical schools, embed research into the NHS to improve care, & the importance of a vibrant life sciences sector for the economy of the UK, & yet we seem unable to tackle the underlying issues 1/9
