On #WorldBrainDay, the Neuronet programme is celebrating @IMI_JU's public-private partnerships in #neurodegeneration research; from fundamental science to clinical studies, data analysis to knowledge mining & beyond.

Keep your eyes peeled! #WeAreNeuronet

2/20 @bwfalcon, now a group leader at @MRC_LMB, worked on the structure of Tau filaments @imprind, showing how they are misfolded in the brains of people with #neurodegenerative diseases.

3/20 #WorldBrainDay 2020 is dedicated to raising awareness of #Parkinsons disease. There are currently no disease-modifying treatments for mild cognitive impairment in PD; the #PD-MIND project aims to test a new drug to treat this condition. Find out more:bit.ly/PD-MIND

4/20 Researchers estimate that 40-65% of people with #Alzheimers disease have the ApoE4 gene. In @adapted_project, Tania Fowke from @mimetas_3d is studying the behaviour of cells from donors with different ApoE genotypes.

5/20 The #IM2PACT project aims to advance our understanding of the blood-brain barrier and how it functions – and malfunctions – in neurodegenerative disease.

6/20 The #AETIONOMY project developed innovative computational tools to manage and interpret complex healthcare and research datasets.

7/20 @EQIPD wants to to enable a smoother, faster and safer transition from #preclinical to clinical testing by strengthening the robustness, rigor and validity of research data. Find out more here: quality-preclinical-data.eu #WorldBrainDay

8/20 The @phago_imi project is focused on the development of novel therapies that target the immune system in #Alzheimers disease.

#WorldBrainDay

9/20 #PDMITOQUANT is studying how flaws in mitochondria, the powerhouses that drive cells, can cause #Parkinson’s disease. Read more about how #PDMITOQUANT is involving patients and the public in its research @ParkinsonsUK #WorldBrainDay link.medium.com/lXT7g1NJ84

10/20 @IMI_EMIF has made the EMIF Data Catalogue publicly available to the research community. It is an example of EMIF’s mission to improve identification, access, sharing and reuse of #healthdata within the European Union. bit.ly/Neuronet-EMIF-… #WorldBrainDay

11/20 @Lcollij from @AlzheimerAms is a PhD student involved in the @IMI_AMYPAD project, which is investigating how amyloid PET scans could identify people in the very earliest stages of #Alzheimers disease.

12/20 There is no simple way to find new treatments for diseases we don’t fully grasp. The #IMI2PRISM project aims to help us better understand and classify neuropsychiatric diseases.

13/20 @RADARCNS is a major research programme developing new ways of monitoring major depressive disorder, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis using wearable devices and smartphone technology. Learn more about it here: bit.ly/RADAR-CNS-proj…
#WorldBrainDay

14/20 To measure vital signs such as blood pressure you need the right tools. @Mobilise-D will develop digital tools to measure mobility, a vital sign that is affected in neurodegenerative diseases such as #Parkinson’s and #Alzheimer’s bit.ly/Mobilise-D #WorldBrainDay

15/20 @RADARAD7 does collaborative research that explores the potential of mobile and digital technologies to improve the assessment of #Alzheimer’s disease. Find out more: bit.ly/RADAR-project
#WorldBrainDay

16/20 Success in research depends on effective collaboration. @MopeadEU is part of the IMI_JU movement towards a #HealthierFuture for people with #neurodegenerative conditions. Learn more: bit.ly/MOPEAD-Intervi… #WorldBrainDay

17/20 Did you know that the European #Prevention of Alzheimer’s #Dementia Consortium builds a conversation with participants and gives them an active role in influencing the design, conduct and reporting of #research?

18/20 What is it like to be involved in #dementia research as an #expert by experience?
Check out this great interview with Chris Roberts & his wife Jayne who took the time to provide insights on their involvement in @IMI2_ROADMAP: bit.ly/ROADMAP-Interv… #WorldBrainDay

19/20 Breaking news! On #WorldBrainDay, we are delighted to welcome @ideafastproject to the Neuronet programme. IDEA-FAST will develop real-world, digital markers for sleep disturbances & fatigue in #neurodegenerative & inflammatory diseases.
