• Thanks Brigit!

    Thanks Brigit!

    We said goodbye to our amazing research coordinator Brigit Thomassen. Over the last two years Brigit has been a valuable part of our team, active in both GRIP and MULTINET to organize and oversee data collection and help optimize patients’ research participation experience. Her dedication, organization and positive energy were a joy to have in…

  • Linda was at EACR Cancer Neuroscience in Bilbao

    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!

    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!

    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…
