I feel more optimism now than ever before. As I explained to Dave Briggs, aging is the leading risk factor for #Alzheimers which is why treatments informed by the #BiologyofAging are critical. ADDF support will help these treatments cross the finish line yhoo.it/3DwHGZM


Clearing of #amyloid plaques resulting from drugs like #lecanemab has shown modest benefit that by itself may not make a significant difference to patients, reported Dominique Mosbergen of The Wall Street Journal: on.wsj.com/3Ev1uNy This is why ADDF supports combination therapies as the path forward.





As we enter the, "golden age of drug discovery," as stated in Gina Kolata's article, it's important to identify new #biomarkers to reduce the costs of developing drugs for diseases, like #Alzheimers, which enable us to run more rigorous & efficient trials nyti.ms/40CSOxr

I’m excited to share a new $200M gift from the Lauder family will fuel Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation to advance the next generation of drugs based on the #biologyofaging, allowing us to explore the full potential of the pipeline and move the most promising research forward: bit.ly/3G3gNNG




Today's #FDA approval of #leqembi marked a momentous day in the #Alzheimers field. Howard Fillit, MD notes how this approval will serve as a catalyst for driving further developments and investments in the Alzheimer’s drug pipeline based on the biology of aging: bit.ly/3PLD4oB.


Today at #AAIC23, Eli Lilly and Company announced the anti-amyloid #donanemab slows #CognitiveDecline by 35%. Howard Fillit, MD notes this serves as further validation that anti-amyloid therapies will be the first class of several classes of drugs to treat #Alzheimers: bit.ly/3rEdNmc




Brilliant panel on the Biology of Aging at #ADPD2024 lead by Niranjan Bose featuring 🟧 Susan Kohlhaas 🟧 Howard Fillit, MD and our good friends from Dementia Discovery Fund and EQT Life Sciences


Inspiring start of Day 3 at #ADPD2024 with Howard Fillit, MD 🤩 “We need to foster collaboration between the #geroscience and #neuroscience community to advance disease treatment. The ultimate goal is to adopt a precision medicine approach based on each patient's unique biomarkers.”


Today #ADDF Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer Howard Fillit, MD delivered a poignant plenary lecture at #ADPD2024 on why the biology of aging framework will guide the next generation of #Alzheimers drugs as we move towards combination therapy and #precisionmedicine.
