Recorded at the Dementia Research Charity #Chatathon 2022 - Adam Smith interviews Professor Claire Surr, Professor of Dementia Studies at Leeds Beckett University and Dr Victoria Shepherd, Senior Research Fellow, Cardiff University.
Professor Claire Surr - I am Director of the Centre for Dementia Research, a cross-University research Centre dedicated to supporting multi-disciplinary applied dementia research. I have led a wide range of dementia research programmes funded by major funders including the National Institute for Health Research and the Alzheimer's Society. I work in dementia care and services research. Most recently my focus has been on dementia and comorbidity, care homes and workforce education and training.
Dr Victoria Shepherd - I lead an interdisciplinary programme of research exploring the ethical and methodological issues around research involving adults with impaired capacity to consent, including people living with dementia. This includes the recent development of the NIHR INCLUDE Impaired Capacity to Consent Framework to help researchers to design trials that are more inclusive of people who may experience challenges around consent. Alongside this, I have a broad portfolio of methodological research including care home studies such as COS COVID PCARE which established the core outcomes to be measured in trials evaluating interventions to prevent COVID-19 in care homes.

The 2022 Dementia Research Charity Chatathon LIVE was held on Friday 2nd December - A non-stop 12.5 hours livestream hosted by Adam Smith interviewing 68 Dementia Researchers and Special Guests working across all areas of discovery to beat Alzheimer's disease and all forms of dementia. Raising money for research and providing insights into the latest research taking place across the UK and Worldwide.
This year we are raising money for four amazing charities who all fund research - Alzheimer's Research UK, Alzheimer's Society, Race Against Dementia and The Lewy Body Society.

Recorded at the Dementia Research Charity #Chatathon 2022 - Adam Smith interviews Dr Catherine Quinn, Associate Professor in the Centre for Applied Dementia Studies at University of Bradford; Dr Catherine Charlwood, IDEAL Research Translation & Impact Manager at University of Exeter and Nikita Sharma, Postgraduate student at Swami Vivekanand Subharti University.
Dr Catherine Quinn - My research focuses improving the quality of life of those affected by dementia. First, through gaining a better understanding of the experiences of those affected by dementia and the factors that affect their quality of life. Second, by developing interventions to improve the quality of life of those affected by dementia. I teach modules on post-diagnostic support in dementia and am also a Fellow of the Wolfson Centre for Applied Health Care Research and a member of the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration Yorkshire and Humber.
Dr Catherine Charlwood - Drawing on an unusual background of three degrees in literature, I work for the IDEAL programme as Research Translation and Impact Manager. My role exists to help promote our findings to various different stakeholders from our key beneficiaries of people with dementia and carers, through to practitioners and policymakers. It's an enormous privilege to work closely on the PPIE elements of IDEAL and one of my proudest achievements is the Living with Dementia Toolkit.
Nikita Sharma - Currently pursuing her MD Naturopathy & working on reviews & exploring the “Effect of Meditation on amygdala in healthy & among Alzheimer’s disease patients”.

Pathology Research, learning about Dementia from Brain Tissue & the Brain Bank

Recorded at the Dementia Research Charity #Chatathon 2022 - Adam Smith interviews Dr Lauren Walker, ARUK Research Fellow at Newcastle University, Dr Megan Torvell, Research Associate in the UK Dementia Research Institute at Cardiff University, Dr Keeley Brookes-Baker, Senior Lecturer at Nottingham Trent University and Joe Morgan a PhD Student from University of Salford.
Dr Lauren Walker - My main research interests lie in investigating the effects of multiple pathological lesions on clinical phenotype in neurodegenerative disorders (e.g. Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body disease). Using a quantitative clinico-patholigical approach I aim to tease is distinct clinico-pathologcal phenotypes which may ultimately lead to tailored treatment options for patients. To complete this work, I use donated human brain tissue from Newcastle Brain Tissue Resource and the Brains for Dementia Research initiative.
Dr Megan Torvell - My research uses human postmortem tissue and genetically modified mouse models to understand the role of complement, an important branch of the innate immune system, in Alzheimer's disease.
Dr Keeley Brookes - My research focuses on producing genetic data and analysis for the Brains for Dementia Research (BDR) Project to be used in conjunction with other data generated on this cohort to bridge the gap between genetic risk for dementia and phenotype. My current studies are to try and align current polygenic risk score models with biological outcomes, in order to refine the model to the most relevant genetic variants, therefore increasing the accuracy of the score to predict genetic risk and identify those genes that may be actionable targets for therapeutic intervention.
Joe Morgan - My research is based on investigating the relationship between autophagy and small extrscellular vesicle miRNA cargoes in Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia.
