🔔👩🏻🔬Do you know what pathological changes are happening in the blood-brain barrier of people with Down syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease? Find out tomorrow at 9:15 am, Hall 3 #AAIC23! You’ll be surprised 👀🩸🧠! ISTAART Down Syndrome and Alzheimer's Disease PIA Alzheimer Biomarkers Consortium — Down Syndrome Alzheimer's Association Orange County Alzheimer's Association

Had an absolutely wonderful time at the poster session today! This has been an amazing opportunity to share my passion with others! Thanks Dr. Elizabeth Head, #AAIC and everyone who came out! (P.S. if you missed me today, I’ll be back out there tomorrow around lunch time at P4-070!)




Excellent talks at #AAIC23 on cerebrovascular pathologies in Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease 🧠 So important to understand these changes in light of new anti-amyloid therapies Lisi Flores-Aguilar Andre Strydom @McPotier @SarahPapey and Frances Wiseman UK Dementia Research Institute



Been looking forward to this #AAIC23 session all week 🤩 Chaired by the amazing Rachel Buckley 🐨🇦🇺🐨, “Closing the sex/gender gap in dementia: Honing in on the vasculature” 🧠🫀 #endalz ISTAART Alzheimer's Association Sex and Gender Differences in Alzheimer's Disease Vascular Cognitive Disorders PIA




The Sex/Gender Differences PIA is proud to announce our ISTAART journal club on Oct 19th 11amCT hosted, by rising stars Nat Vilor-Tejedor and Mabel Seto. The papers will highlight the roles of 1) the x-chromosome on brain architecture and 2) sex, race, and APOE on cognition.


For #NPAW2023 we’re honoring the Head Lab postdoc stars! Dr. Lorena Sordo is a veterinary scientist with an MSc & PhD from The University of Edinburgh. Her research includes neuropathology, biomarkers, and natural animal models to study AD. Lorena Sordo has also received BrightFocus Foundation awards!



Absolutely thrilled to share my publication stemming from my postdoctoral work (of 6 yrs) at Sisodia lab The University of Chicago. We investigated the sex-specific translatome #microglia in #AD models as a function of changes in #GutMicrobiome . Thank you Molecular Neurodegeneration for sharing our story.




The #SexAndGenderPIA at #AAIC24 was housefull. Thanks @JasonDFlatt and Dr Chi Udeh-Momoh for the great debate!


Can't believe I'm already 2 weeks into my research visit to Head Lab at UC Irvine in sunny California! Lots of experiments and beautiful sunsets ☀️ Thank you to Dr. Elizabeth Head Lisi Flores-Aguilar Ellie Andrews and all the lab for helping me settle in and start collecting data!
