SUMMARY:How Our Lives Shape Dementia Risk
DESCRIPTION:In this Alzheimer’s Research UK webinar discover what decades of research reveal about dementia risk\, and how health\, lifestyle and experiences at different points in life contribute to brain health later on at our free online public event. \nDate: Tuesday 24 March 2026\nTime: 1-1:45 GMT\nLocation: Online (Zoom) \nSpeakers: \nDr Sarah-Naomi James\, A senior research fellow at UCL. She explores how health\, education and life experiences earlier in life are linked to memory and brain health in later years. Her research helps us to understand dementia risk and resilience. \nJames Groves\, Alzheimer’s Research UK-funded PhD student at UCL. Resident doctor at the National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery. He studies why some people’s brains and bodies age faster than others and how experiences across life shape dementia risk. \n\nRegister\nThe event will take place online on Zoom and is free to attend. It is open to everyone and no previous knowledge of dementia or research is required. \nThe event will be recorded and made available to watch on demand for those who can’t join us live.

SUMMARY:Cancer-Alzheimer's Disease Inverse Correlation
DESCRIPTION:Epidemiological studies consistently report an inverse correlation between cancer and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). \nThe risk of AD in patients with cancer is reduced by 25-35%. Conversely\, the risk of cancer is halved in patients with AD. A cancer history is associated with a measurable delay in AD onset in a dose-dependent manner\, as individuals who previously had two cancers of different origins showed a later mean age of AD onset compared to individuals who previously had one or no prior cancer. The inverse correlation between cancer and AD is further corroborated by neuropathological findings. For example\, a prior cancer diagnosis was associated with a reduced burden of AD pathology. Studies of postmortem brain tissues collected from patients with glioblastoma showed that regions with amyloid beta and phosphorylated tau deposits were associated with little to no cortical tumor cell infiltration. Currently\, a critical gap exists between the repeatedly observed inverse association of the two diseases in epidemiological studies and a mechanistic understanding of this compelling phenomenon. To address this knowledge gap\, this NIA/NCI workshop will convene experts in AD\, cancer biology\, statistics\, epidemiology\, and translational/clinical research to discuss this topic and the challenges faced by this nascent field. \nUltimately\, by connecting these distinct disciplines\, the hope is to elucidate the complex mechanisms that underly the inverse correlation and uncover insights into novel therapeutic interventions for these devasting diseases. \nRegister to Attend \n  \nFor more information\, contact Rebekah Feng at rebekah.feng@nih.gov or Malgorzata Klauzinska at malgorzata.klauzinska@nih.gov.

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
