In our paper, published today in EJNM, we introduce a technique to profile tau tangle accumulation in the brain across the Alzheimer's disease (AD) spectrum: link.springer.com/article/10.100… 1/5
An intense @adpdnet week with two presentations, a Junior Faculty Award, and the best team 🧠 Thanks for an amazing time, Vienna!




It's out! Our study evaluated early, intermediate and late AD pathology biomarkers and their relationship between CSF 💧and plasma 🩸across the AD "progression". Can these quantifications be used interchangeably between fluid matrices? Check it out 😉 link.springer.com/article/10.100…
PET-based Braak staging provides evidence that NPS may be a clinical manifestation of tau accumulation over time. Read more about the paper by Macedo et al. published in Neurobiology in Aging here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #ISTAART
Congratulations to @JosephTherr and colleagues on their great work! The results of Alzheimer disease blood tests must be integrated with clinical data to understand the certainty of test results and formulate next clinical steps. #ENDALZ nature.com/articles/s4358…

Pleased to present the design paper of a Dutch multicenter study in which we aim to assess the clinical value of Tau PET, led by @vermeiren_marie (@AlzheimerAms). "The impact of tau-PET in a selected memory clinic cohort: rationale and design of the TAP- TAU study" Link to…

Congratulations to @TheNeuro_MNI for 90 years of successful discoveries, groundbreaking neuroscience research and revolutionary patient care! Here's to many more years to come 🥳🧠 reporter.mcgill.ca/the-neuro-at-9…
Glad to share that the second paper of my PhD is available ahead of print in Neurobiology of Aging. In this study, we show that neuropsychiatric symptoms increase with tau severity, as measured by PET. Huge thanks to my team for the support =) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
❗️Tau PET survey (preliminary result)❗️ Many thanks to the 268 respondents from 6 different continents! The manuscript is work in progress, but here's already a preliminary Figure from @vermeiren_marie & @IsmaelLCalandri.
Doutorando da UFRGS é reconhecido um dos pesquisadores mais promissores do mundo em Neurociência. Prêmio "One to Watch' Award" da Alzheimer's Association foi entregue para João Pedro Ferrari Souza em solenidade nesta quinta, 25, na Universidade de Chicago. tinyurl.com/pj2sdmub
So proud to learn science (and much more) from this amazing person, professional, and mentor! Very well-deserved!!!
I am grateful to the Alzheimer's Association and all my mentees for receiving the "Excellence in Neuroscience Mentoring" Award! It has been a privilege to interact with many young and bright scientists on a daily basis. @mcgillu, @TheNeuro_MNI, @DouglasResearch,#ENDALZ,#AAICNeuro
“If we believe we can change things, we can. Everyone told me it would be hard to do high-quality research in my home country of Brazil. I saw an opportunity to help people in lower-income countries. My lab now has 37 students.” - @erzimmer, @ISTAART member, #ALZFunded…
Happy to share that my first original study as a PhD student is now published in @braincomms. It talks about the use of tau-PET to predict impairment in activities of daily living in Alzheimer's disease. Big thanks to my team for all the support🧠 academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…
Our new head-to-head comparison of the Janssen and Alzpath plasma p-tau217 assays is now published in @EmboMolMed Congratulations to @andrealessa on her first paper as a senior author! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
So glad to have presented my work at #ADPD2024 and extremely thankful to my team @Imaging_AD for all the support. Special thanks to my supervisor @pedrorosaneto and co-supervisor @TharickAPascoal for this opportunity 🧠🇵🇹


Presentation 1/2 at #ADPD2024 about the relationship of AD biomarkers with body mass index and waist circumference. You may check our poster out at #185 :)
