SUMMARY:Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) Conference\, established in 2008\, has become a cornerstone event in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) clinical research. Designed by and for AD researchers\, CTAD’s mission is to create a platform that prioritizes substantive\, clinical research-focused dialogue and collaboration. By fostering an intimate and collegial environment\, CTAD has gained a reputation for facilitating impactful international collaborations and advancing the global AD research agenda. \nThe upcoming 18th annual Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease Conference (CTAD26) to be held in Boston (USA) on November 16-19\, 2026. CTAD26 will build on the momentum of previous years\, reflecting the rapid advancements in Alzheimer’s disease diagnostics and therapeutics that make this field one of the most dynamic in medical research today. \nCTAD26 also features thought-provoking roundtables and symposia that explore the latest advancements in AD research. Renowned clinicians and leaders from academia\, research centers\, patient coalitions\, and pharmaceutical companies engage in dynamic discussions on diverse topics\, from disease-modifying agents to gene therapy\, vaccines\, and multimodal interventions. \nFind out More

SUMMARY:Webinar - Autism and young onset dementia
DESCRIPTION:The Young Dementia Network webinar on Tuesday 19th May 2026 at 12.30-1.30pm will explore the experiences of autistic people when accessing dementia healthcare\, highlighting some of the barriers they may encounter and the importance of making services more accessible and inclusive. \nIt will outline the work being undertaken at Dementia UK to develop clear\, accessible information and resources for both the autistic community and healthcare professionals\, with the aim of improving understanding\, communication and support. \nIt will also examine the complex relationship between autism and young onset dementia. In particular\, it will consider how certain characteristics commonly associated with autism\, such as differences in communication\, behaviour and sensory processing\, may sometimes be misunderstood or misattributed as signs of young onset dementia. We will discuss how these overlaps can contribute to confusion in assessment and diagnosis\, and why greater awareness among healthcare professionals is essential. \nPresenters at the webinar include Ryan Gray\, Research Assistant at Dementia UK\, who leads on the young onset dementia strand of its 2023-2026 strategy and Gavin Stewart PhD\, a senior postdoctoral research fellow at King’s College London. Gavin is an expert in autism and ageing and his research takes a multifaceted approach to explore the life experiences of autistic people across adulthood and as they age. \nLou shares her lived experience as an autistic carer for her mum with dementia\, her difficulties in navigating services and her Mum’s transition into a care home. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Cognitive Rejuvenation through OSK
DESCRIPTION:Restoring seemingly lost bodily functions in age and age-related disorders has\, over recent years\, transitioned from the realm of science fiction to tangible research questions with high translational potential. Among the available approaches\, partial cellular reprogramming has emerged as one of the most promising strategies to promote tissue regeneration and restore cellular function\, while at the same time preserving cellular identities. However\, whether this approach bears fruit to rejuvenate cognitive processes has remained unknown until recently. \nIn this talk\, Prof. Johannes Gräff will highlight recent findings from his laboratory\, which show that partial reprogramming of engram neurons – bona fide memory trace cells – by OSK-mediated gene therapy leads to cognitive rejuvenation. This intervention reverses the expression of senescence and disease-related cellular hallmarks in aged mice and models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD)\, re-establishes aberrant epigenetic-transcriptional patterns pertaining to synaptic plasticity and counteracts AD-typical neuronal hyperexcitability. Importantly\, irrespective of the brain area targeted or the behavioural paradigm employed\, engram reprogramming also restores learning and memory capacities to levels comparable of healthy young animals. These results posit that partial reprogramming of defined cell populations in the brain can be translationally exploited for cognitive restoration in aging and disease. \nEvent details: \n• Date: 28.05.2026\n• Time: 16:00\n• Duration: 45 minutes (includes Q&A)\n• Location: Online (link to be provided upon registration)\n• Costs: Free of charge \nReferent: Prof. Johannes Gräff\, EPFL \n\nRegister
