SUMMARY:Advancing Alzheimer’s Detection with Brain-Derived pTau217 Assays
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, Jonathan Schott and Alex Forrest-Hay will showcase how new biomarker assays for brain-derived pTau217 capture disease-relevant changes earlier and with greater resolution. \nTau tangles are a key pathological feature of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD)\, and increased phosphorylated Tau217 (pTau217) levels have proven to be a robust biomarker for this condition. Measuring brain-derived pTau from plasma samples with high sensitivity and specificity is shown to improve the accuracy of detecting AD and reduce the percentage of samples in the indeterminant range. \nIn this webinar\, brought to you by Alamar Biosciences\, Jonathan Schott and Alex Forrest-Hay will discuss the latest ultra-sensitive assays for measuring brain-derived pTau217 and outline how they are transforming the detection and prediction of AD. \nTopics to be covered \n\nThe role of brain-derived biomarkers in improving AD detection\nThe development and performance of high-sensitivity nucleic acid-linked immuno-sandwich assays for CNS disease\nComparison of assay performance to standard assays in real-world samples\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now

SUMMARY:Catch-up - Population Approaches to Dementia Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Dementia prevention is often framed as a matter of individual lifestyle choice. This session steps back and asks what prevention looks like when we think at population level\, not just personal risk. \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly ‘Showcase’ series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session that brings researchers together to share work. \nIn this session\, Simone Salemme will explore how dementia prevention can move beyond individual level interventions towards population based approaches rooted in equity\, data\, and public policy. Drawing on Italian and European initiatives\, he will discuss how prevention can be embedded within national and EU non communicable disease strategies to support brain health across the life course. \n\nSimone is a PhD Fellow and early career researcher at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. Attendees can expect a clear overview of current evidence\, policy links\, and practical challenges\, with time for questions and discussion.\n\n\n\nWatch the Recording
