CONFERENCE | Our PhD student, 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗸𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮 𝗞𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁, recently attended the 𝗔𝗹𝘇𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 ( ) in London! 🧠🇬🇧

Aliaksandra (R E C E T O X, Masaryk University & International Clinical Research Center) presented her research poster highlighting the development of a screening method that identified several existing drugs capable of binding to ApoE4—a key protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Among these, two promising compounds stood out by effectively blocking the protein's toxic clumping, offering potential starting points for new Alzheimer's treatments. 🔬✨

This work was supported by the Alzheimer's Association, the Czech Science Foundation, ADDIT-CE, and Horizon Europe Research Centre. 🤝

PARTY | Yesterday, we gathered for our summer barbecue! 🌭🧀

We enjoyed delicious roasted sausages, meat, and cheese — but most of all, the great company and relaxed conversations with colleagues.

It was also a wonderful opportunity to spend time with our research interns at the end of their research stay, 𝗥𝗲𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮 𝗦𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘂
(BOKU University, Vienna) and 𝗔𝗯𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗸𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗿 𝗬𝗮𝘆𝗰𝗶 (Ruhr University Bochum). We were thrilled to have had them with us! ☀️
