New *open access* paper in Alzheimer's & Dementia Journals — with the Alzheimer's Association #GBSC we compared 33 different plasma p-tau assays. TLDR — Plasma p-tau217 on several platforms was the best at discriminating Alzheimer’s from controls alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al…

It was a tremendous honor to receive the Young Investigator Award from La Fondation Recherche Alzheimer (Fondation Recherche Alzheimer) earlier this month, in Paris. I am grateful for the recognition and inspired to receive my award alongside Professor Christian Haass

We're entering a new era of #Alzheimers blood testing—fully automated platforms now deliver fast, accurate #pTau217 results for use in primary & secondary care. Proud to share senior authorship and proud of this multi-centre European collaboration. šŸ”— nature.com/articles/s4159…

New manuscript alert! Can blood-based biomarkers measured on a fully automated platform accurately identify Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology?🩸 Our new multi-cohort study has now been published in Nature Medicine: nature.com/articles/s4159…. A thread🧵

šŸ“¢Our latest study, now published in Nature Medicine , explores the potential of blood biomarkers on an automated platform to detect #Alzheimers . Plasma p-tau217 showed remarkable accuracy, with AUCs ranging from 0.93-0.96! 🩸🧠 Read more here: nature.com/articles/s4159…

I’m proud to share the first PhD paper of my first (formally) PhD student Ilaria Pola, where we investigated proteins associated with TSPO PET imaging. 🄳 We are now already working on the extension of this work, so stay tuned! šŸ§ šŸ’§šŸ©ø Nicholas Ashton McGill University

Immunoassay choice for #pTau217 is important! In this study, we show that LMW #pTau217 is more specific to Alzheimers pathology than HMW #pTau217 immunoassay designs – which can give false-positives. alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al… BioFINDER Oskar Hansson

NPTX2 is emerging as a key neurodegeneration biomarker, but measurement tools are limited. We developed a low-volume, automated Simoa assay for its quantification in CSF #biomarkers #neurodegeneration pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40522075/

We developed a #CSF assay for #SV2A and found it correlates strongly with UCB-J PET in Alzheimers—more so than other established CSF synaptic markers. A promising step toward fluid biomarkers of #synaptic density #biomarkers #neurodegeneration pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40491249/
