Super team enjoying at #COSMOCAIXA π©βπ¬
A big thank you to the entire @bcnspiracy.bsky.social team for the invitation! Happy to present our research on how air pollution in Barcelona may accelerate brain ageingπ§ results of a project funded by #FundaciΓ³nLaCaixa & @ajuntamentbcn.bsky.social
Fantastic talk by @fanastasi.bsky.social at the BCN Proteomic day @standardbiotools.bsky.social, presenting results from a collaboration within our teams and highlighting how leveraging open large-scale proteomic resources like @neuroproteome.bsky.social, accelerates discovery in biomedical research
Delighted to share that our project has been selected for funding under the 2026 AD Strategic Fund: Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia - Understanding Mechanisms of Dysfunction Programπ§
A huge thanks to @alzassociation.bsky.social for this opportunity!
++1!
confession: I often get excited by n=1 results.
Today we celebrate not only your success as a scientist, but also your triumph as a woman, feminist, fighter and the hundreds of versions of yourself that make up a whole.
It has been a true privilege to learn with you & walk this path together!
Congratulations Dr. @blancarodfer.bsky.social

DOES YOUR ANCESTRY affect your risk for Alzheimer's disease? Yes it does. Studies of ancestral diversity are crucial for understanding risk for brain diseases; expression of subtypes of psychiatric conditions can also depend on ancestry. Here's an overview:

They're now messing with the Fulbright program [1]. I definitely wouldn't be here without the $7k I received from it in 1993. We need to help people from different backgrounds make connections and support each other....

"Uncertainty of risk estimates from clinical prediction models: rationale, challenges, and approaches"
- most models provide just a risk estimate
- we argue for presenting associated uncertainty too

π Our findings show that higher AD genetic risk impacts brain structure beyond the well-known APOE Ξ΅4 allele.
π Stronger cross-study comparisons: CoDA allows us to integrate MRI data from different cohorts without extensive harmonization, improving large-scale research reliability.
π§ How we use CoDA? Instead of looking at brain regions one by one, CoDA captures interdependent variations between brain regions, giving us deeper insights into:
π Stage-specific brain changes: We identified distinct compositional brain scores that differentiate individuals along the AD continuum.
