Congratulations to the amazing Maura Malpetti for the 2024 “One to Watch” award! 👏👏👏👏

🌟 Exciting News! We're launching Virtual Journal Clubs exclusively for #DementiaResearchers within the soon to be launched Dementia Researcher Communities App. Connect, collaborate & stay updated. Interested in hosting? Let us know! #ResearchTogether dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/virtual-journa…

🎤 Enhance your CV and your understanding of dementia research by co-ordinating a Virtual Journal Club . We provide the platform; you bring your expertise. Get started: dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/virtual-journa… #ECRChat

Join Dr Chris Chen, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, at his Keynote Presentation. His major research & clinical interests are in blood biomarkers, neuroimaging & treatment of stroke & dementia. Register today!➡️ buff.ly/4aKYtGB #ADRF2024

We're excited to invite you to the upcoming meeting of the DEMON Network Drug Discovery and Trial Optimization working group, featuring @AtienzarSara Speaker: Dr Sara Saez Atienzar✨ Topic: Connecting the Dots in ALS: Harnessing Genetic Data for Drug Discoveries🧬 Date: April

🚨Great PhD opportunity (deadline 20 May!) to work on white matter molecular dysfunction in dementia with me ConceiçãoBettencourt, Prof Jo Barnes also at @jbar-uk.bsky.social & Tammaryn Lashley at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology. See further details and how to apply here: ucl.ac.uk/ion/building-y…

Super work Ali promoting both non-motor symptoms in ALS and the development of synthetic controls, amongst other things during the pandemic. Well done you can be proud of this work!

In our new preprint, we measured frailty trajectories in the years preceding dementia to better understand the direction of that relationship. We report observational evidence that frailty increases dementia risk independently of reverse causality. researchsquare.com/article/rs-431…

Interested in using machine learning #ML to delve into the complexities of #epigenetics of #dementia? Please get in touch if you would like to be hosted by the ConceiçãoBettencourt lab to apply for an #MSCA postdoctoral #fellowship 👇

Join the DEMON Network Biomarker WG on Wednesday 12th June ☆♩ ♪ ♫ ♬♡ BST. We are excited to be hosting Prof Terry Quinn Dr Terry Quinn💙 & Dr Kalliopi Mavromati from Glasgow University discussing a data challenge with an opportunity to access the Bio-Hermes dataset ! Brain Health ARC

NEW! 🚨 from Centre for Preventive Neurology Sam Ereira Adeel Razi We describe a technique to predict who will get dementia up to 9 years in the future. New paper and explanatory 🧵 1/n doi.org/10.1038/s44220…

📢 Calling Computational #Dementia Researchers. One of our new journal clubs is just for you! Meeting monthly to discuss the latest papers in your field. If you think you might be interested, reply for an invite!

More good PhD news from Dementia Genomics Team - congratulations to Lachlan from my group who passed his PhD, and a big thank you to his examiners Prof David Llewellyn and ConceiçãoBettencourt. It’s been a busy year, with 5 PhD students in the group submitting and passing since September! 🎉 👨‍🎓

Want to know what you can expect at this years #AAIC24? I interviewed Claire Sexton Alzheimer's Association ISTAART to get the inside scoop. A must listen for anyone planning to attend, or still undecided. pod.fo/e/251a14

Delighted to introduce Professor Sir John Hardy as Vice President of ⁦Alzheimer's Research UK⁩ John is a shining light in our field & long time supporter. Do join me in welcoming him by reading my blog #ForACure alzheimersresearchuk.org/news/introduci…

In almost 30,000 participants of 4 cohort studies over 20+ years of follow-up, we found that #frailty was a strong risk factor for #dementia and accumulated rapidly from 9 years before dementia onset. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… UQ Medicine 1/3

Most viewed in the last 7 days from JAMA Neurology: Frailty measurements may be used to identify high-risk population groups for preferential enrolment into clinical trials for dementia prevention and treatment. ja.ma/3YUpt1p

Frailty trajectories in the leadup to dementia in the UK and US shed new light on this complex relationship. See our JAMA Neurology DEMON Network David Ward Research at ARUK #frailty #dementia paper: jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
