I am grateful to the Belfer family and the entire team at the Neurodegeneration Consortium for driving and supporting the target identification and drug discovery efforts of such an outstanding and innovative group of researchers, all united in the fight against #Alzheimers
Blown away by the generosity and vision

Immensely proud to share our four papers on #SingleCell dissection of #Alzheimers Disease coming out in @CellCellPress today, reporting 2.3M #scRNA profiles and 850k #scATAC profiles across 427 post-mortem human brain samples from AD and non-AD donors in a wonderful #interdisciplinary collaboration with @DrLiHueiTsai between @MIT @MIT_Picower @MIT_CSAIL @BroadInstitute @RushUniversity
Paper 1: scRNA + vulnerability + resilience cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…
Paper 2: scATAC + GWAS + Epigenome Erosion cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…
Paper 3: Microglia States + reprogramming cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…
Paper 4: DNA damage + gene fusions cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Four (!) papers in Cell today co-led by the lab of @DrLiHueiTsai offer the most detailed picture yet of the genetic and molecular underpinnings of Alzheimer’s. picower.mit.edu/news/decodin… @ScienceMIT @mitbrainandcog #alzheimers #neuroscience

Very excited to see that our collaborative work with @YinShenLab is out in @NatureGenet. Using a systematic approach, this study functionally characterized 308 previously unreported AD risk variants at 181 cCREs in microglia. #Genetics #ADResearch nature.com/articles/s41588-0…

Ever analyze a scRNAseq dataset and wonder if a specific cell state has been seen before? And if so, where in the human body? Under what conditions? Well, now you can use our lightning fast SCimilarity search and foundational model for that! ⚡️🔎🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1/11)
