- Exciting new work for the Angiopoietin aficionado: Angiopoietin dysregulation as early hallmark of amyloid- driven vascular dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease. Must read work from the Wysscoray and Keller laboratories published on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social.
- Three new @erc.europa.eu Starting Grants for vascular researchers: Congratulations to Vanessa Coelho-Santos (@vcoelhosantoslab.bsky.social) for "AngioArchitects“ (LS5], Leire Bejarano for "MetaVasc" (LS4], and Mahak Singhal for "Vascular Rhythm" (LS4). Great success!
- Congratulations to Mahak Singhal @uniheidelberg.bsky.social on being awarded an @erc.europa.eu Starting Grant for his project "Vascular-Rhythm" focussing on "DeClocking the vascular rhythmic control of tissue homeostasis and disease initiation". Pioneering a new branch of vascular research!
- 2025 has been an intense and in part rough year. Time to let body and soul heal and recover. Found a wonderful place overlooking Costa Adeje on the lovely island Tenerife (www.oceanviewmontesol.com). Spectacular view – plenty activities – great new ideas - feels like rejuvenation - check it out!
