Meet HABS (Harvard Aging Brain Study)

Oct. 20, 2020
1 p.m. CDT

The "meet the scientists" webinar series will host teams of investigators working to end Alzheimer's and other dementias. It will provide an opportunity for junior investigators to learn about the exciting research these teams are doing, as well as potential career opportunities available. Moderated by Yakeel T. Quiroz, Ph.D.

Co-Principal Investigators:
Ph.D.s Keith Johnson and Reisa Sperling

Ask the Editors — A&D, TRCI and DADM

Oct. 21, 2020
9 a.m. CDT

Join us for a session to ask the editors of Alzheimer's & Dementia: Journal of the Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions (TRCI) and Alzheimer's & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring (DADM). Topics in the webinar include areas of priority for the journals, considerations for those submitting manuscripts, tips for reviews and more.

Editors:
Ph.D.s Zaven S. Khachaturian, Ara S. Khachaturian, Peter J. Snyder and Kathleen M. Hayden

Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia: Debating the Past and Shaping the Future of Dementia Research

Oct. 21, 2020
11 a.m.-noon CDT

A productive conversation with early career-researchers about the future of research in the field, taking into account current scientific evidence, key limitations and main questions to be addressed for the future. Moderated by Atticus Hainsworth, Narlon Boa Sorte Silva and Brittani Price.

Panelists:
Oliver Bracko, Fabricio Oliveira and Beth Shaaban

Educational Session Neuroimaging of ADRD: In Vivo Imaging Versus Neuropathology

Oct. 22, 2020
9-10:30 a.m. CDT

Part of the Neuroimaging PIA educational series, this webinar is presented from the perspective of two neuropathologists who describe the neuropathological assessment of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and provide an overview of PET-to-autopsy studies to better inform the interpretation of in vivo imaging.

Presenters:
Melissa E. Murray and Dietmar Thal

The Forgotten Utility of Case Studies: Examining Non-Pharmacologic Interventions in Individuals with ADRD

Oct. 27, 2020
11 a.m.-noon CDT

While the move toward evaluating treatment effects with ever larger sample sizes comes with many benefits, those with less common types of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) often fail to meet inclusion criteria and lack the “numbers” to justify a full scale trial. Thus, knowledge about the optimal treatment approaches lag because of this smaller “market share”. This program will embrace the robust history of intervening for, and learning from, individual cases and case series. Moderated by Sietske A.M. Sikkes.

Presenter:
Benjamin M. Hampstead

Research Update: Race/Ethnicity and Sex/Gender in Neuroimaging Studies

Nov. 19, 2020
9-10:15 a.m. CDT

The final part of the Neuroimaging PIA educational series, this webinar gives an overview of the latest neuroimaging research on the impact of race/ethnicity and sex/gender factors on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.

Presenters:
Neelum Aggarwal, Beau Ances, Rachel Buckley, Timothy Hohman, Yong Liu, Yakeel T. Quiroz and Clara Vila-Castelar
