Encaenia 2025 @ox.ac.uk with my 🧠 buddy @stephfowler.bsky.social. It was great to see fellow Enniscorthy native Colm Tóibín receive the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters for his contribution to literature and journalism 💜💛
Fantastic start to the day here at the 3rd "Human Proteome and Health" Symposium at Rhodes House where Dr Katerina Gospodinova from the ARUK-ODDI and @cmd.ox.ac.uk discussed proteomic profiling of the #matrisome for use a novel therapeutic modality in #Alzheimers Disease 🧠 @arukthamesv.bsky.social
Our review is out now in Molecular & Cellular Proteomics! We discuss the latest advances in #HDX mass spectrometry to aid neurotherapeutic design & development in #Alzheimers, #Parkinsons and #ALS, providing molecular insights into protein aggregation pathways and therapeutic antibodies 🧠
