SUMMARY:BIG Research Moments of 2025
DESCRIPTION:Join Alzheimer’s Research UK for a discussion reflecting back on the big dementia news stories of the year and explore the vital role the public play in driving progress in clinical research. \nSpeakers: \n\nProfessor Hugh Murkus\, Neurologist and research at the University of Cambridge. He studies how damage to small blood vessels in the brain can lead to stroke and dementia. His team is working to improve how new treatments are testing in clinical trials\, using advanced brain imaging.\nIsolde Radford\, Senior Policy Manager at Alzheimer’s Research UK. Working to turn the latest research into real-world impact. Helping to make the case to national decision-markers for access to new treatments and better support for people taking part in clinical studies.\nGeoff & Marian\, Media and Communications Volunteers. Sharing their personal story of taking part in dementia research and why it matters to them.\n\nDate: Tuesday 16 December 2025\nTime: 1-2pm GMT\nLocation: Online (Zoom webinar) \nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:Catchup - Should Santa be running a research lab?
DESCRIPTION:Dementia Researcher Bloggers Adam Smith & Dr Anna Volkmer host Dr Connor Richardson & Rebecca Williams\, for a Christmas Special Debate – Join us on 17 December at 12pm GMT and cast your vote. \nDebate Motion: \n\nThis House believes that Santa would make an excellent PI.\n\nWould Santa Claus be the ultimate Principal Investigator? Supporters might say he has impeccable project management skills\, leads a global operation with precision\, and motivates a diverse team of elves through even the busiest deadlines. Critics\, however\, may question his data transparency\, reliance on outdated delivery models\, and patchy record on work-life balance.\n\nJoin this festive (fun) debate to decide whether Santa’s leadership style would shine in academia\, or melt under the pressure of grant applications and reviewer comments. \nSpeakers: \n\nDr Anna Volkmer – Speech and language therapist and Associate Professor exploring communication in dementia.\nDr Connor Richardson – Research Fellow working in data and applying epidemiology and machine learning to dementia research.\nRebecca Williams – PhD Researcher exploring Frontotemporal dementia and Apathy.\nDr Jodi Watt – Researcher working on healthy ageing and neurodegenerative diseases of older age\, and drug repurposing for dementia.\n\nWhat to Expect \n\nJoin us for a live online debate where our speakers will present opposing views on the continued relevance of animal models in dementia research. The session will include:\n\n10-minute opening statements from each speaker\nModerated discussion\nAudience Q&A\nLive vote before and after the debate to see if opinions shift\n\n\nTake part in this light-hearted Christmas debate and decide once and for all whether Santa has what it takes to lead a world-class research team. \n\n\nAs part of the fun\, we’ll also be using this debate to raise money for Dementia UK and their Admiral Nurses\, who provide vital specialist support to families affected by dementia. The festive season can be especially difficult for those living with dementia\, and every donation helps ensure that expert advice and compassionate care are available when it’s needed most. Tickets are priced at £5 and all money raised will be donated – please consider buying a ticket… even if you can’t be there\, you can always watch the recording.

SUMMARY:How abnormal tau impacts mitochondrial function in neurons
DESCRIPTION:Swiss Network for Dementia Research Webinar by Dr. Amandine Grimm\, University of Basel. \nTauopathies such as Alzheimer’s disease are characterized by progressive neuronal dysfunction\, in part driven by impaired mitochondrial bioenergetics and dynamics. \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Grimm will start by presenting how abnormal tau impacts mitochondrial function in neurons. Then\, she will present recent findings from two complementary studies conducted by her group. The first explores how abnormal tau protein influences intercellular mitochondrial transfer between astrocytes and neurons. The second study investigates the therapeutic potential of mitochondrial transplantation\, showing that the exogenous delivery of healthy astrocytic mitochondria enhances bioenergetics and promotes neurite outgrowth in tauopathy neurons. \nTogether\, these findings shed light on the mechanistic link between tau and mitochondrial communication\, and open novel avenues for cell-based mitochondrial therapies in neurodegenerative disease. \nFind out more
