Meetings, symposia, a royal visit, and new building facilities. The year 2022 was eventful for DANDRITE and its researchers.

With this video, DANDRITE wishes you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

The Lundbeck Foundation fuels young neuroscientist's biotech vision with a DKK 5 million grant from its new Frontier Grant programme. Lasse Reimer of DANDRITE at Aarhus University will spend the next 18 months bringing the promising project to maturity and taking it out of the lab in search of investors.

“For the first time, I can actually say that I believe we could do a giant breakthrough for the entire field and hopefully change the lives of millions of people struggling with Parkinson’s disease”.

The scientific presentations of this season's Internal Meetings were on display when all at DANDRITE met on Thursday 8 December. Seven young and established researchers presented their poster to colleagues who represented the judging jury of who should win this year's DANDRITE Poster Prize.

Even though it was a close tie, Postdoc Lasse Reimer from Jensen Group won the prize for his poster with the title: "SERCA as a preclinical disease modifying drug target against α-synuclein aggregate dependent dysfunctions". The prize includes 3.000 Danish Kroner to use for a scientific event.

Congratulations Lasse!

We received the news of Marco Capogna’s passing with immense grief and sorrow. He was a most highly valued friend and colleague at DANDRITE and in true meaning an inspiration to us all.
