    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…

    OHBM in Brisbane

    At the Organization for Human Brain Mapping annual meeting of 2025 in Australia, Linda presented the multicenter study on structure-function multilayer network integration in multiple sclerosis (MS) led by Lucas. Using multimodal MRI data from 780 people with MS across 13 European centers, we explored how the brain’s frontoparietal network integrates structure and function and…

  • Dorien co-organizes session at Dutch Neuroscience Meeting

    Dorien co-organizes session at Dutch Neuroscience Meeting

    Dorien and Anouk Schrantee organised a symposium titled “Bridging scales in brain function: integrating computational and experimental insights into network dynamics and plasticity”, at the Dutch Neuroscience Meeting! This session brought together researchers tackling the brain from multiple levels, from cellular mechanisms to large-scale networks and behaviour. Caroline Lea-Carnall, Jorge Mejias, and Miranda Moore each…

  • Maxine & Lucas present at CCA

    Maxine & Lucas present at CCA

    At the annual Cancer Center Amsterdam retreat in Noordwijkerhout, Maxine presented the GRIP group’s work on the “Efficacy of blended cognitive behavioral therapy for fatigue in stable diffuse glioma: an RCT”. Her abstract was selected for the plenary session! Lucas also presented at this retreat, with his poster on “Unravelling the crosstalk between glioma and…

    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

    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.🔬…
