Good luck with setting up your new lab at the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (inStem), Bangalore, India.
Adrian presented our recent work on developing new C9orf72 knock-in models at the Packard Centre for ALS Annual Symposium in Baltimore March 2nd-3rd 2020.
We are looking forward to the 2nd European C9orf72 Meeting January 30-31st 2020. This year the meeting is hosted by the Isaacs lab at UCL!

We are pleased to announce the publication of our paper in Acta Neuropathalogica: Gittings, LM, Boeynaems, S, Lightwood, D, Clargo, A, Topia, S, Nakayama, L, Troakes, C, Mann, DMA, Gitler, AD, Lashley, T, Isaacs, AM. Symmetric dimethylation of poly-GR correlates with disease duration in C9orf72 FTLD and ALS and reduces poly-GR…
Several members of the lab attended the DRI Connectome event this year, with Adrian Isaacs presenting our current genetic therapy projects and Carmelo Milioto presenting a poster on our knock-in mouse model currently in development.
We are happy to announce that Jack Humphrey has successfully defended his thesis and passed his PhD viva. Jack is now looking forward to starting his post-doc position in Mount Sinai, New York in 2019. Congratulations, Jack!
