Congratulations Liza 🌟🌟

Very happy to share our new article of the interaction of mitochondria, innate immunity and viral infections and the relevance for brain &liver disease. Impressive work by Yilin Kang. Thanks Jussi Hepojoki Olli_Vapalahti and all collabs! University of Helsinki Anu Suomalainen-Wartiovaara Lab rdcu.be/dDx2G

Thank you for raising awareness about epilepsy today, let's work together to #StampOutSeizures !

Meet Jamie – the latest Lily-funded researcher to join our team working to better understand the complexities of #mito Jamie's work as part of our new Precision Diagnostics Project, will be vitally important in securing a genetic diagnosis for patients. ow.ly/VSA750QKIMh

Great to see my colleague, Rob Taylor, finally joining the world of X/Twitter! Please give his lab a follow if you're interested in mitochondrial diseases and related conditions, mitochondria, genetics and all things related.

People living with rare diseases deserve to have our efforts to understand mechanisms and develop treatments. And often breakthroughs in rare disease unlock our understanding of common disease. I support #RareDiseaseDay

Proud to be researching mitochondrial disease and rare epilepsies this #RareDiseaseDay , but every rare disease matters!

Website is live and registration is open for the 2024 Annual Scientific Meeting, 21-23 October, Titanic Hotel, Liverpool! 🎉

This is incredibly powerful.

Thank you for raising awareness for epilepsy and its many forms and impacts. 💜

This #InternationalEpilepsyDay , meet Amelia...

At just six months old, Amelia was diagnosed with epilepsy and has been under the care of Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children ever since.

Now aged 6, inspiring Amelia is doing well and recently started rock climbing lessons 💜

Dr Faye McLeod is Co-Lead of Epilepsy Research Institute’s Reproduction & Hormones research theme. In this Feature, we discuss the progress of Dr McLeod's Newcastle University Fellowship project, the recent publication of The Hughes Report and her hopes for future research: epilepsy-institute.org.uk/eri/research/f…

PhD opportunity: Join our vibrant team and apply multiomics to find out why people with the same mitochondrial DNA mutation are affected so differently. Get in touch to find out more! Gavin Hudson NCL Neuroscience Mito Research Newcastle University
