New publication in Nature Reviews Neurology
Linda was invited to write a review on network perspectives in glioma, together with Jaap and Ayan Mandal! They describe how adult glioma is associated with a wide range of symptoms and variable survival that are not fully explained by tumour location or subtype. As we know very well in the team, recent work suggests…

Sébastien joins MULTINET!
My research interests broadly revolve around brain connectivity, network science, and multimodal analysis. In collaboration with the Adore biocomputation group, I am excited to dive into multilayer network theory to explore how data from different scales (e.g., genes, proteins, cells, whole-brain) can help us better understand oncological and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Before…

Floris nominated for Open Science prize
Floris built a pipeline to process thousands of scans from brain tumor patients and check their quality in the months he was with us over the summer. Now, the neuro-oncology patient research group has an insanely rich dataset to work with. Very deservedly, Floris was nominated for an Open Science prize at Amsterdam UMC!

Amber at Nicolaes Tulp symposium
At this year’s Nicolaes Tulp Symposium, held in collaboration with the Amsterdam Medical Student Journal (AMSj) and Amsterdam UMC, Amber Gadet presented her internship work with us through her talk: “The relationship between brain connectivity and fatigue complaints: insights in patients with primary brain tumors.” Amber was one of the three finalists invited to present,…

Our PONG battle
In this lab outing (sadly with an extra theme of goodbye to Brigit), we battled each other in some ping pong tournaments. Fun!

Linda was at EACR Cancer Neuroscience in Bilbao
We were excited to contribute to the first EACR Conference on Cancer Neuroscience, an international meeting dedicated to exploring how the nervous system and cancer influence one another across the body. This emerging field is transforming our understanding of malignant disease and opening new directions for therapy. Linda was invited to speak on the team’s…

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…
