On the 7th September 2020, Adam Smith hosted the Dementia Research Chatathon LIVE - to share information on the wide variety of research taking place across the world, and the raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK. Please continue to donate and help Adam meet his £5,000 target - details can be found at http://www.chatathon.uk.
In a way that everyone can understand, this video features Adam talking with:
Dr Sam Moxon, Research Associate, The University of Manchester (now Birmingham) - I am a biomaterials scientist seeking to apply biomedical engineering principals to the study of dementia. I work in Prof Nigel Hooper's research group generating 3D culture platforms for probing the underlying mechanisms of Alzheimer's Disease and Vascular Dementia - @DrSamMoxon
Louise Serpell, Professor of Biochemistry, University of Sussex - I lead a team of researchers, investigating the causes of dementia, protein misfolding mechanisms, structure and toxicity. With a particular interest in Neuronal damage and the APOE genes - @Serpell1

Dr Amanda Heslegrave, Senior Research Fellow, UK Dementia Research Institute at UCL. I collaborate with clinical researchers to measure biomarkers of neurodegeneration in a variety of biofluids, most topical right now are blood biomarkers which we are able to measure with the use of super sensitive assay technology - @ajh1269
Dr Josie Jenkinson, Consultant Psychiatrist for Older People, Surrey & Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. I am an NHS doctor and researcher, focusing on long-term specialist continuing care and health services research. I am particularly interested in deliberate self harm in older adults, delirium and dementia care pathways.

In a way that everyone can understand, this video features Adam talking with:
Dr Hazel Hall-Roberts, Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Oxford (Now UK Dementia Research Institute, Cardiff University). I work on risk genes for Alzheimer's disease that are expressed highly in microglia, and I study them in a dish using human induced pluripotent stem cell models of microglia - @HazelLRoberts Dr Mark Dallas, Associate Professor Neuroscience, University of Reading. My work looks at non neuronal cells and their potential to combat Alzheimer's. Cellular work looking a ion channels on glial cells and changes in their function long before clinical presentation. In addition, we are looking at the ability of carbon monoxide to suppress amyloid toxicity and be a neuroprotectant - @drmarkdallas
