Another milestone, experiments completed!

We are thrilled to announce that our team successfully completed all the single-cell RNAseq, bulk RNAseq, immunohistochemistry and genotyping experiments last week! We are trying to characterise cell-type-specific transcriptomic changes in TREM2var human brains with Alzheimer's Disease. Stay tuned to hear about our preliminary results!
