We spent half a decade exploring novel cellular models that faithfully and organically show disease phenotypes in patient derived lines. @MartinadeMajo and @laylainlab’s work is uniquely powerful for advancing understanding and treatment for #als #ftd, #alz and beyond.
Exciting update from Synapticure's lab: Dr. Martina de Majo and Dr. Layla Starr will present their innovative research at #ISSCR2024! Don't miss out on learning more about our 3D brain #organoid platform. 🔬🧠 Contact [email protected] to connect at the conference!

Working alongside @bsw5020 and @sabrevaya as well as the whole @synapticure team is an honour and a privilege. This film will make you laugh out loud, cry and will show you what can be achieved with determination and passion. Thank me later!
“For Love & Life: No Ordinary Campaign” is now on @PrimeVideo! For those who have been diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease, you are not alone. Support and resources are available. This film and our co-founders' journey are real reasons for hope: forloveandlifefilm.com
Today the world can watch a film that has been called “the best movie I have seen in 30 years.” For Love & Life: No Ordinary Campaign is now streaming on @PrimeVideo. After you watch the documentary, please review it on the Amazon page for the film. amazon.com/gp/video/detai…
Dr. @MartinadeMajo and Dr. @laylainlab from our lab will be presenting two posters at #ISSCR2024 on our proprietary 3D brain #organoid platform to model neuron-astrocyte interactions in neurodegeneration. We are excited to share their work -- look for them both in Hamburg!
Our Director of R&D, Martina de Majo, and our Associate Director of Disease Modeling, Layla Starr will present at #ISSCR2024 in Hamburg on our proprietary #organoid platform to model neurodegeneration. 🧠 Learn more about our research team, click here: synapticure.com/for-partners/r…
@pwallach87 @OrrLaboratory beautiful work confirming what we published a year ago on the cover of @stemcellreports We showed #astrocytes defective phagocytosis directly influences TDP-43 loss of function in a mature brain organoid model of FTD. Check it out! cell.com/stem-cell-repo…
Tomorrow, Synapticure's CEO, @sabrevaya, joins @EmmaHeming Willis and others for a panel on the caregiving journey in the face of diseases like #Alzheimer's. Synapticure partners with HFC to support #caregivers impacted by Alzheimer's. Sign up: donatehfc.com/event/hfc-care… (2/2)
I am excited to announce that some of my thesis work has been published in iScience! 🥳In this work, we investigated the relationship between neuronal depolarization and transcript variants derived from the ALS/FTD-linked gene, C9orf72. cell.com/iscience/fullt…
@westboundsigned 👋 lmk when the first ASS meeting is, can't miss it
Our review article entitled "Breakdown of the central synapses in C9orf72-linked ALS/FTD" is out now! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
new handle / new introductory tweet I’m Layla (@laylainlab) & I’m a Neuroscience Ph.D. Candidate. I study C9orf72-ALS/FTD using patient-derived iPSC neurons. I’m interested in biotech careers. Outside of lab, I enjoy sci-fi novels 📚, movies 📽️, boxing 🥊, and learning to ski ⛷️

@YSPTSPS Yes! My lab-mate has an industry scientist on her committee
As your PhD journey gets progressively tougher, so do you.
When the experiment finally works but you have no idea how.
@MoLOTSofScience you'll kill it, looking forward to seeing your progress :)
Read more about the study published in @Nature Scientific Reports: go.nature.com/3potf18 @weinbergals @NeuroatJeff
Hot off the press! ✨ Check out our new paper which investigates secondary DNA structures formed by the C9 repeat expansion! ✨
New #JeffersonResearch from @haeuslerlab finds that a crowded molecular environment can influence the DNA structures formed by mutations in the C9orf72 gene. The study provides new drug targets to treat neurodegenerative diseases like ALS that are linked to the C9orf72 mutation.
