Assia Tiane

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Maastricht University and Hasselt University, focusing on oligodendrocyte biology in neurodegenerative diseases. I study oligodendrocyte behavior in Alzheimer’s disease using a multi-omics approach that integrates genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and lipidomics. To validate and mechanistically explore these findings, I apply patient-derived iPSC-based oligodendrocyte models in vitro. Broadly, my research aims to elucidate how epigenetic and molecular alterations in oligodendrocytes drive disease progression and heterogeneity, with the goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets.
