SUMMARY:Building Futures in Dementia Prevention
DESCRIPTION:SPIN-D and INTERDEM Academy Joint event\,  \nNorthampton University\, 19th (from 4pm) and 20th January\, 2026 \nThis event is aimed at early career researchers working in dementia research; it is focussed on developing new ideas for collaborative projects in the area.  The event has three core aims: \n\nTo build and strengthen early–mid career research networks across SPIN-D\, INTERDEM and the wider dementia prevention community\nTo encourage reflective thinking on priority areas in dementia prevention research\, particularly around inclusion\, cultural context and inequalities\nTo create a supportive space for ideas to be collaboratively developed\, with attendees working towards a co-agreed output or next step by the end of the event\n\nThe event follows an online workshop (although attendance at the previous online workshop is not required for attending the in person event in Northampton)\, at which the following themes were highlighted and will be used (adapted if needed) for creating initial breakout groups for research discussions and project planning: \n\n Psychosocial and holistic approaches\n Biological and clinical foundations of dementia prevention\n Lifestyle and health promotion interventions\n\nIn order to create a supportive and collaborative environment\, we are capping numbers of attendees at 30.  If you are interested to attend then please complete this form by 22nd December 2025 .  ECRs are also offered financial support for one nights accommodation locally for Monday 19th January (please see the form for more information).  If you require more information please contact spindnetworkplus@live.ucl.ac.uk.

SUMMARY:Towards equity in dementia care: form measurement to action in Canada
DESCRIPTION:Towards equity in dementia care: form measurement to action in Canada with the Liverpool Dementia and Ageing Forum and Equadem\n\n\n\nBurgeoning evidence shows that people with dementia are at increased risk of inequalities in care. Dr Claire Godard-Sebillotte and Dr Sathya Karunananthan will present their research programme spanning from measurement of inequalities to generating recommendations to improve equity in dementia care. They will detail their participatory and intersectional approaches. Claire is a geriatrician and an Assistant Professor at McGill University. Sathya is an epidemiologist and Associate professor at University of Ottawa. \nThe talk will last 40 minutes\, with 15 minutes for Q&A at the end. \nEveryone with an interest in dementia is welcome. \nRegister to Attend

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
