On the 7th September 2020, Adam Smith hosted the Dementia Research Chatathon LIVE - to share information on the wide variety of research taking place across the world, and the raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK. Please continue to donate and help Adam meet his £5,000 target - details can be found at www.chatathon.uk.
In a way that everyone can understand, this video features Adam talking with:
Dr Christina Toomey, Post-doctoral Research Associate, University College London. Christina's research focuses on the proteomics and lipidomics of neurodegenerative diseases and the link to the pathology present. My PhD was on the role TREM2 Gene plays in neurodegeneration too - @christina_neuro.
Dr Guliz Ozcan, Postdoctoral Research Associate, University College London. Guliz works at the interception of sleep and Alzheimer's disease. Sleep problems are one of the earliest symptoms of AD and often arise years before the cognitive deficits. Using zebrafish, we have recently shown that Aβ acutely and reversibly enhances or suppresses sleep as a function of oligomer length - @guilizozcan.
Dr Gemma Lace, Senior Lecturer in Biomedical Science & Lead of Public Engagement and Outreach, University of Salford. Gemma researchers the role of autophagy impairments in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia, the role of obesity in dementia risk and how exosomes may shed light on underlying disease mechanisms and be used as diagnostic biomarkers. A large part her job is to also raise dementia awareness through outreach and public engagement events - @gemmalace
