📰New blog post! 🩸💻 New study from Casey Vanderlip in the Stark Lab shows that we may be able to identify those most at risk for AD using 2 simple and widely accessible tools: a blood test and a brief unsupervised memory assessment. mind.uci.edu/blog/

In case you missed it: the FDA cleared the first blood test to help diagnose Alzheimer’s this week. For too long, Americans have struggled to get a simple and accurate diagnosis. This action is a step toward earlier, less invasive detection, which can lead to better access to care and treatment.

It was truly an honor to work w/ @BannerHealth @BannerAlzheimersInstitute to discuss aspects of dementia that are central in my research & close to my heart. You can stream here: cutt.ly/DementiaUnta... And here: creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/... @alzdemjournals.bsky.social @ucimind.bsky.social

All of my federal funding has now been stripped away from me. I went from a nearly $5 million federally supported portfolio to nothing.

Researchers find a hint at how to delay Alzheimer's symptoms. Now they have to prove it apnews.com/article/a...

"To wrongly extrapolate to an entire field the actions of a few bad actors [is] misleading and potentially even more harmful." This Viewpoint discusses a recent book that alleges scientific misconduct in Alzheimer disease (AD) research. https://ja.ma/429vZE5

Thanks to Josh Grill and Gil Rabinovici for getting this important message out in such a clear and concise manner.
