SUMMARY:Catchup - Research Showcase - APOE Genotype & Dementia
DESCRIPTION:Why do some people with genetic risk go on to experience cognitive decline while others remain resilient. How does genetic vulnerability shape pathways to later life cognitive impairment and dementia. \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 Donald Lyall\, Senior Lecturer in Population Brain Health at the University of Glasgow\, will present research on the role of APOE genotype in later life cognitive impairment and dementia. Donald’s work uses population health and epidemiological approaches to understand how genetic risk interacts with lifestyle and environmental factors to influence brain health and cognitive outcomes. He has extensive experience analysing large cohort datasets to uncover mediators and modifiers of cognitive decline\, with a particular focus on how APOE affects vulnerability in ageing populations. \nDonald will explore whether possession of specific APOE variants increases susceptibility to cognitive impairment\, and what intermediate phenotypes may mediate these associations\, shedding light on mechanisms that link genetic risk with cognitive health outcomes. \nAttendees can expect a clear and research focused talk followed by time for questions and discussion. \n\n\n\n\nWatch the Recording

SUMMARY:Catchup - Research Showcase - Imaging Alzheimer’s Disease in Down Syndrome
DESCRIPTION:Why are people with Down syndrome at increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease and how can brain imaging help us understand this process. What role do cerebrovascular changes play in the development of cognitive decline. \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\, Sara Zsadanyi will present her research exploring neuroimaging markers in Down syndrome related Alzheimer’s disease\, with a particular focus on cerebrovascular lesions observed through brain imaging. Her work aims to improve understanding of how vascular changes may contribute to dementia risk and disease progression in this population. \nSara is a PhD student at the Sant Pau Memory Unit and Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona\, specialising in biomarkers and neuroimaging. Her research focuses on improving early detection and understanding of Alzheimer’s disease in people with Down syndrome\, combining imaging approaches with clinical research to better characterise disease pathways. \nAttendees can expect a clear and research focused talk followed by time for questions and discussion. \n\n\n\n\nWatch the Recording
