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!

🧬 🧠 Excited to see it printed! We bring key insights on the epigenetic regulation of SVAs, including SVA-XDP: a polymorphic SVA driving a rare neurodegenerative disorder

An exciting line up for the upcoming “Neuroepigenetics in health and disease” Segerfalk Symposium here in Lund University 🧬🧠

Probably of interest for some of you in #TEworldwide!
