100% of individuals harbouring the granulin (GRN) mutation will develop Frontotemporal Dementia.
With this first clinical trial, we are one step closer to changing that trajectory thanks to research led by Professor Anders Nykjær👏

💥DANDRITE GL's Fiona Müllner and Chao Sun receive an ERC Starting Grant 2025💥
With the grant, Fiona will explore how the thalamus shapes and modulates visual signals. Chao aims to uncover how the brain’s cleaning system works, especially during sleep.
Huge congratulations👏

Funding awarded to explore the role of synaptic energetics in ageing and memory decline Group Leader Chao Sun has been awarded a Sapere Aude DFF Starting Grant to explore the mechanisms behind memory loss associated with ageing. A call for a postdoctoral position has just been opened to ...

Our Group Leader @chao-sun.bsky.social is among the 36 recipients of the Sapere Aude Starting Grant from the Independent Research Fund Denmark to uncover whether synapses can fine-tune their energy regulation machinery—and whether this ability deteriorates with age.

2.8 million RNA editing sites across 38 brain regions in the crab-eating macaque—a close human relative. The results? A game-changer in how we understand the brain.
This is the result of a newly published article led by DANDRITE-affiliated Professor Yonglun Luo.

We are happy to announce the recruitment of our new group leader, @fionamuellner.bsky.social. Coming from the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel, Fiona will investigate how neural circuits at the brain’s first central processing stage—the thalamus—shape the way we see.
Welcome!
