Introducing the newly minted PhD from our lab, Dr. Mojtaba Hosseini. To say that I am a proud advisor is a huge understatement. Mojtaba did a phenomenal job in his defense and throughout his PhD. His invaluable contributions to our program have been instrumental in our success.

Check out a recent paper by Karim Fouad and my groups examining how reawakening inflammation in the chronically injured spinal cord using lipopolysaccharide induces diverse microglial states

Result of a rewarding experience to summarize our knowledge on meningeal biology with established experts in the field below. I hope this provides inspiration for further research studies aiming to find the truth. rdcu.be/dVigd

Happy #Fridayfluorescence everyone! Can't remember what stains these were, but : 1) look at how complex cell morphologies are when you image at high resolution! 2) the amount of cellular debris in a demyelinating lesion pops up! #Microscopy #Fluorescence #Leica #100x #microglia

Fun working on this exciting project! Congrats @MatthewMacaule4 and @GhazalehEsk !! A major discovery in the Alzheimer’s Disease field
CD33 isoforms on the surface of the brain’s microglia can have opposing effects, providing protection or increased susceptibility to Alzheimer’s Disease. “Everybody considered CD33 a risk, but our study showed it’s not just risk and absence of risk, it’s actually risk and protection,” says Ghazaleh Eskandari-Sedighi, a lead researcher on the study. #UAlberta #Alzheimers #Alzheimersdisease @AlzCanada bit.ly/3MqZada @GhazalehEsk @UAlberta_FoMD @Helpfordementia @UofAResearch

Tomorrow is gonna be a big day in Canada. We're very excited to head to @AWCanada, grab our #TeenBurger 🍔, and support Canadians affected by #MS! #BurgersToBeatMS @MSCanOfficial
Our favourite day of the year is only one week away! That’s right, the grills will be fired up, the mugs will be cold and frosty, and $2 from every @awcanada Teen Burger® sold across the country will support Canadians affected by #MS. 🍔 #BurgersToBeatMS #MultipleSclerosis
