  • New publication! Ambroxol displaces α-synuclein from the membrane and inhibits the formation of early protein-lipid coaggregates

    New publications! Our manuscript describing the mechanism by which the small molecule chaperone Ambroxol inhibits the co-assembly of alpha-synuclein with lipids into amyloid fibrils is now published at Chemical Science Journal. This collaborative work with Jesper Dreier, Elliot Carles, Katharina Schott, Alisdair Stevenson and Thomas Michaels suggests a novel role of Ambroxol that can act […]

  • NCER-PD Anniversary Conference 2025

    On the 10-year anniversary of the National Centre for Excellence in Research on Parkinson’s Disease (NCER-PD) Céline, Krista and Kathi joined the celebratory conference in Luxembourg. Céline gave a talk on our latest findings on lipid changes associated with PD in post-mortem brain samples as well as the newly discovered inhibitory effect of Ambroxol on aS aggregation. Krista gave a […]

  • New funding: Hallas-Møller Ascending Investigator grant

    Céline received a 11.4 Mio DKK Hallas-Møller Ascending Investigator grant from the Novo Nordisk foundation for the project entitled “Reverting brain lipid changes associated with Parkinson’s Disease pathology in patients’ neuronal cells”. This project aims at testing novel strategies to revert lipid changes associated with Parkinson’s Disease and decrease protein clumps in neuronal cells. Read […]

  • New grant from Lundbeck foundation

    Prof. Daniel Otzen (Main PI), Prof. Nikos Hatzakis (co PI), Prof. Martin Lauritzen (co PI) and Céline were awarded a 20 Mio DKK Collaborative Project grant from the Lundbeck foundation for the project “NanoPANS (Functionalized Nanocarriers sending anti-PARkinson’s Disease drugs to the Nervous System)”. This project aims at developing and testing innovative methods to transport […]

  • New Novo Nordisk foundation grant

    Céline received a 3.4 Mio DKK grant from the Novo Nordisk foundation for the project “Characterizing Parkinson’s Disease pathological proteomic changes at the aggregate level.” This project aims to quantify changes in protein levels associated with Parkinson’s Disease and related disruptions in lipid metabolism in post-mortem brain samples. This project involves a collaboration with Assoc. […]

  • La Fête des Rois celebration

    On January 6th, France celebrates the Festival of the Kings with the traditional Galette des Rois—a delicious cake made of flaky puff pastry filled with rich almond frangipane. Hidden inside is a small figurine, and whoever finds it in their slice is crowned king or queen for the day! In Galvagnion group we celebrated this […]

  • Galvagnion group’s team holiday gathering

    Just before Christmas, the Galvagnion Group came together for a fun-filled team-building day! We kicked things off with a mini golf tournament, filled with laughter, friendly competition, and a few surprise trick shots. After the game, we enjoyed a delicious dinner, sharing stories and celebrating a great year. It was the perfect way to strengthen […]
