Welcome Jülide
Jülide Asildas is a PhD student in the FunGen lab since October 2025. Her research aims to increase our understanding between microglia-neuron interactions in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Multiple sclerosis (MS). She will establish iPSC-derived neural organoids to specifically investigate how lipid-loaded microglia contribute to neurodegeneration.
