SUMMARY:Endosomal-lysosomal network dysfunction in neurodegeneration
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 Harden Conference on ‘Endosomal-lysosomal Network Dysfunction in Neurodegeneration’ will be the first focused UK based conference bringing together world-leading researchers in endosomal-lysosomal biology and neurodegenerative research. \nAlterations in the endosomal-lysosomal system are emerging as key features underlying pathogenesis in several neurodegenerative and neurological disorders\, and has generated significant interest as to whether this pathway can be targeted for early-stage diagnostics and therapeutics. \nThis meeting aims to generate new insight into the latest advances in the endosomal-lysosomal system to enhance the rate of discovery in neurodegenerative research. Researchers from all career stages across the academic and industrial sectors will come together to exchange ideas\, share cutting edge methodologies and technical knowledge\, and formulate new collaborations. This meeting will also facilitate the establishment of an ongoing network of researchers interested in the endosomal-lysosomal system to push forward diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in this rapidly moving area of research. \nSession Topics:\nSession 1: Endosomal-lysosomal membrane organisation\nSession 2: Organellar Crosstalk between the endosomal lysosomal network\nSession 3: Cutting edge methodologies for investigating the endosomal lysosomal network\nSession 4: Endosomal-lysosomal dysfunction in neurodegeneration\nSession 5: Proteostasis and protein pathology\nSession 6: Non-neuronal mechanisms for neurodegeneration \nPanel Sessions:\nPanel Discussion: Biomarkers and therapeutic targets/strategies for the endo-lysosomal pathway\nPanel Dicussion: Experimental assessment of endocytic biology – pitfalls\, new and better methods\nCareer Development sessions \nProgramme Coordinators:\nNatalie Connor-Robson\, Cardiff University\nPete Cullen\, Bristol University\nKirsty McMillan\, University of Liverpool \nOral communication slots are available at this meeting. All attendees\, particularly researchers in the early stages of their career\, are invited to submit a poster abstract for consideration as an oral communication. \nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Strengthening Family Connections Through Reminiscence
DESCRIPTION:How can families maintain meaningful connections with loved ones living with dementia after they move into a care home. And how can reminiscence help make visits more engaging and rewarding for everyone involved. \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods\, and ideas. \nIn this session\, Connor McDonald will present findings from his PhD\, a collaborative Action Research study exploring family-centred reminiscence during care home visits for people living with dementia. Working alongside family members\, the project co-developed a new approach to using reminiscence as a way of strengthening and preserving relationships. \nThe session will explore how collaboration with families shaped the intervention\, what was learned through the co-design process\, and how reminiscence can support meaningful interaction and connection within care home settings. \nConnor is an early career researcher at the University of the West of Scotland whose research focuses on dementia care\, family involvement\, and collaborative approaches to improving the experiences of people living with dementia and those closest to them. \nAttendees can expect a thought provoking and discussion-led session with time for questions and conversation. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Genetic Determinants of Cognitive Heterogeneity in Parkinson’s Disease
DESCRIPTION:Why do some people with Parkinson’s disease develop dementia while others do not. And how do genetic differences influence cognitive outcomes across the disease. \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods\, and ideas. \nIn this session\, Dr Esra Demir Unal will present her research exploring the genetic factors that contribute to cognitive heterogeneity in Parkinson’s disease. Her work investigates how rare monogenic variants\, polygenic risk\, and genetic loci associated with Alzheimer’s disease influence susceptibility to dementia and cognitive decline. \nBy combining insights from monogenic Parkinson’s disease with broader genetic risk profiles\, the research aims to improve understanding of why cognitive outcomes vary between individuals and identify pathways that may support earlier prediction and more personalised approaches to care. \nEsra is an Assistant Professor at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University\, specialising in neurogenetics and neurodegenerative disease. Her research focuses on the genetic architecture of dementia and Parkinson’s disease\, with an emphasis on understanding the biological mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment. \n\nRegister
