PhD position available!
Understanding how brain cells interact to form circuits, how circuits give rise to networks, and how networks support cognition is one of the most exciting challenges in clinical neuroscience. For complex conditions such as multiple sclerosis and autism spectrum disorder, progress has been slowed by animal models that optimize for single causes or treatments, without…

TRANSCEND gets funded by Horizon Europe!
When we first started talking about the translational gap in neuroscience back in 2018, none of us imagined where that conversation would lead. What began as an exchange of ideas between Lara Keuck, Klaus Eyer, and Linda Douw slowly grew into something much larger: a vision to bridge the worlds of basic and clinical neuroscience,…

Thanks Floris!
About a thousand brain tumor segmentations later… Floris Tijhuis’ project is officially wrapped! Over the past few months, Floris has been taming a massive MRI database of hundreds of glioma patients. From writing scripts to handling data from different hospitals, scanners, patients, and timepoints, to using AI to segment tumors, it was no small feat.…

Mona and Maxine publish their latest over the summer
We’re kicking off the academic year with some fantastic news: both Mona and Maxine have just published their latest papers. Mona explored the interesting question of whether increased brain activity – already associated to tumor progression- also relates to neurocognitive symptoms in people with gliomas. Find the full publication here. Maxine took a data-driven approach to investigate…

Where lake views meet science
With the academic year coming to a close, we took a well-deserved moment to celebrate together in the sunshine. With a well-stocked picnic basket full of homemade goodies and the sun on our faces, we gathered by the beautiful shores of De Nieuwe Meer to reflect, relax, and reconnect. It was a chance to look…

Keynote at NetSci2025
Linda gave a keynote talk in Maastricht, at the Network Science Society’s annual meeting. By linking cellular, circuit, and whole-brain network data, she highlighted the work of the team showing how brain tumors act as network diseases, disrupting global connectivity and cognition. Key insights:🧠 Gliomas target hub regions—highly connected, vulnerable nodes in the brain network.🔬…

Maxine & Linda give a talk
At the “Stimulating Thoughts” symposium, organized by Amsterdam UMC and Amsterdam Neuroscience, Maxine and Linda talked about the use of TMS as a therapeutic tool in glioma, ending with the randomized controlled trial TRUE-GRIT that is currently running as part of the GRIP trials. The symposium was a great opportunity to learn about the different…
