  1. Research Talks #25 - Sebastiaan De Schepper: Waarom we naar de darmen moeten kijken om Parkinson beter te begrijpen.

    29 JAN

    Research Talks #25 - Sebastiaan De Schepper: Waarom we naar de darmen moeten kijken om Parkinson beter te begrijpen.

    In de rubriek Research Talks praten we met onderzoekers van onze faculteit over hun lopend onderzoek.  Vandaag gaan we het hebben over ‘waarom we naar de darmen moeten kijken om de ziekte van Parkinson beter te begrijpen’. En daarvoor hebben we Sebastiaan De Schepper aan onze podcasttafel.  Sebastiaan werkt aan het VIB-UAntwerp Centre for Molecular Neurology waar hij in het Laboratory for Gut-Immune-Brain Axis Research onderzoek doet naar hoe het immuunsysteem buiten de hersenen bijdraagt aan de ontwikkeling van de ziekte van Parkinson.

  2. The Faculty Book Dippers #2 - Vergeet dementie | Barbara Ceuleers en prof. Sebastiaan Engelborghs

    The Faculty Book Dippers #2 - Vergeet dementie | Barbara Ceuleers en prof. Sebastiaan Engelborghs

    In onze rubriek ‘The Faculty Book Dippers’ duiken we samen in een boek. Voor deze aflevering hebben we twee gasten aan onze podcasttafel: Barbara Ceuleers en Sebastiaan Engelborghs.  Barbara is germaniste en journaliste voor VTM Nieuws. En Sebastiaan is professor en diensthoofd neurologie aan de VUB en UZ Brussel. Samen schreven ze het boek ‘Vergeet dementie’, een gids om alzheimer en dementie te voorkomen. 1 op 5 mensen krijgt een dementiediagnose. Daarom wordt het ook wel dé ziekte van de 21ste eeuw genoemd. En voor Barbara kwam deze ziekte heel dichtbij. Haar vader Jan Ceuleers kreeg alzheimer, net zoals zijn moeder. Omdat ze gezien heeft welke impact de ziekte heeft, gaat Barbara op zoek naar manieren om alzheimer te voorkomen. Uit onderzoek blijkt immers dat we tot bijna de helft van de gevallen van dementie kunnen voorkomen of op zijn minst uitstellen door rekening te houden met 14 risicofactoren.  'Vergeet dementie' is uitgegeven bij Ertsberg: https://ertsberg.be/boek/vergeet-dementie/
