At #AAIC25? Stop by Booth 630 to connect with coalition partners, engage with demos from interoperable data platform partners, and find out more about how data sharing can accelerate Alzheimer’s research breakthroughs. Here’s how to find us 👇
#AIC25 has begun. Go and enjoy, it’s an amazing day organised by some amazing people! I will be there in spirit !
Happening now! #AIC25 has started in Hall G! We're excited to see you and have a full day of neuroimaging ahead of us! #ENDALZ See the full agenda here: alz.org/getmedia/f0b9a…
Whilst I sadly will no longer be attending, I am so proud of my Brain imaging genetics work group co-chairs, and the @NeuroimagingPIA which i have been a part of the last few years. The #AAIC2025 is a wonderful meeting of great minds and I will miss it for sure! See you in 2026!
🐳One week away from @AAIC2025, I will be in Toronto to meet old and new friends and colleagues! As we (@taviaevans @natvilortejedor ) step down from the Brain Imaging Genetics workgroup as chairs, our last missions are i) Immersive on "Basics of Genetic Analysis…
🧬 Happy to have contributed to the book Biomarkers of Neurodegenerative Disorders edited by @rawantarawneh7 with our chapter “Genomics and Transcriptomics of Alzheimer Disease”. 📘 Available here: lnkd.in/dqHe-iXg Huge thanks to all co-authors! #AD #omics #Neuroscience
Not quite sure when I started (co)organising genetics things but here we are! Excited about our first workshop at the AAIC this year! Strong team and a planned strong whistle stop workshop!
Excited to be co-organizing the “Basics of Genetic Analysis” pre-conference workshop at #AAIC2025 in Toronto this year! 🧬A hands-on ISTAART session for those starting out in genetics + (brain imaging). Thanks to @alzassociation & all co-organizers, speakers & teaching support!
Leading up to AIC/AAIC25, a lot is happening for the @NeuroimagingPIA ! Here is a thread of everything you should know 👇 … only 45 days until #AIC25!
✨ REMINDER!! ✨ please help me gather the most inspiring papers of the last year (including your own!!) by completing the survey below! 🙏 Looking so much forward to presenting the @NeuroimagingPIA year in review talk at #AIC2025 this July!! 🤩 alz.surveymonkey.com/r/923BTQK

Congrats @natvilortejedor on the @alzassociation Excellence in Neuroscience Mentoring Award! I cannot think of anyone else more deserving! #ProudFriend #Academia
Wondering if I get more nervous before a conference presentation or watching Wales play rugby …
Looking to know more about brain imaging genetics? Sign up for the stellar upcoming webinar from the Brain Imaging Genetics Work Group! @NeuroimagingPIA
Starting off the new year with a new paper! 🎆📰 Check out @mauer_jh 's fantastic manuscript evaluating features influencing the accuracy of local ancestry inference in admixed populations. Tweetorial posted previously for the preprint below, and PDF at: authors.elsevier.com/c/1kN7dgeXA9Xy
I am delighted to announce that @mauer_jh’s first paper with me is up on biorxiv! Their work thoroughly evaluates features affecting local ancestry inference across many (I mean many) simulated demographic and data models to advise on best practices.
Apparently I am the annoying one who ropes her colleagues into do silly things ! Happy holidays from me and my fellow fellows ! @GBHI_Fellows
