SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Mapping Brain Ageing with Multimodal Imaging
DESCRIPTION:Why do people experience brain ageing so differently. And how can combining multiple types of brain imaging help us better understand Alzheimer’s disease and related symptoms. \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 Lily Cheng will present her research using computational modelling\, multimodal neuroimaging\, and biomarkers to investigate the biological diversity of brain ageing and Alzheimer’s disease. She will introduce SuperBigFLICA\, a semi-supervised multimodal data fusion framework that integrates amyloid PET\, tau PET\, grey matter density\, cortical thickness\, and pial surface area to identify patterns shared across imaging modalities. \nThe session will explore how these multimodal brain imaging patterns relate to cognition and neuropsychiatric symptoms\, while also discussing the opportunities and challenges of interpreting complex data fusion approaches in dementia research. \nLily Cheng is a Research Fellow at McLean Hospital in Belmont\, Massachusetts. Her research focuses on computational neuroscience\, multimodal neuroimaging\, and biomarkers to better understand heterogeneity in brain ageing\, Alzheimer’s disease\, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. \nAttendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Mapping Brain Pathology with Postmortem Imaging
DESCRIPTION:What can studying the brain after death reveal that conventional brain scans cannot? And could connecting highly detailed imaging directly with neuropathology help us develop better biomarkers for 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 Pulkit Khandelwal will present his research using high-resolution multimodal postmortem imaging to investigate structural changes across Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. His work uses ultra-high-resolution MRI of human brain tissue alongside computational methods to examine features including cortical thickness\, regional brain volume\, and structural change. \nBy linking these imaging measurements directly with neuropathological markers including tau\, TDP-43\, α-synuclein\, neuronal loss\, and gliosis\, Pulkit’s research aims to identify structural signatures associated with specific disease processes. This approach could help bridge the gap between conventional neuroimaging and gold-standard histopathology and support the development of more precise imaging biomarkers. \nPulkit is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. His research combines neuroimaging\, neuropathology\, and computational image analysis to better understand structural changes across Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. \nAttendees can expect a practical and research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister
