SUMMARY:Evelina Voloviceva - Lipoproteins at the blood-brain barrier interfaces
DESCRIPTION:Dementia Update – Virtual Series #14 – Event by Swiss Network for Dementia Research \nEvelina Voloviceva is a PhD student in the group of Dr. Jérôme Robert\, where she studies how genetic variation in apolipoprotein E (APOE) shapes the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Although APOE4 is known as the strongest genetic risk factor\, how APOE influences brain function is still not fully understood. \nIn this webinar\, Evelina Voloviceva presents a new perspective on apolipoprotein E (APOE)\, moving beyond its traditional view as a single lipid transport protein. In the brain\, APOE is produced by different cell types including astrocytes\, pericytes\, and microglia which generate distinct lipoprotein particles. Her research reveals that these particles differ in their protein and lipid composition depending on their cellular origin\, and that these differences are linked to key processes in Alzheimer’s disease\, such as amyloid pathology and disrupted lipid metabolism. \n𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬 \n𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞: 30.04.2026\n𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞: 16:00\n𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 45 minutes (includes Q&A)\n𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Online (link to be provided upon registration) \n\nRegister
