In this week’s podcast, Adam Smith speaks with Alzheimer’s Association Director, Scientific Programs and Outreach, Dr Claire Sexton. Discussing this year’s Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) July 31 - August 4, 2022. Taking place in-person in San Diego, USA and online - the world’s leading basic scientists, clinical researchers, early career investigators, clinicians and the care research community will share breaking research discoveries that will lead to methods of prevention and treatment and improvements in diagnosis for Alzheimer’s disease. Learn what the organisers have planned for this year’s event, new features and about some of the amazing sessions planned for those attending in-person and online. Students worldwide and researchers from Low- and Middle-Income Countries are now eligible for free ISTAART Membership (and ISTAART members can attend the AAIC Online for Free) - Become a member, then register for the conference if you can't make it in-person.

Researching Sanfilippo syndrome
July 17, 2022
•30m
In this weeks Dementia Researcher Podcast, we hear from Dr Karissa Barthelson, one of the latest Race Against Dementia Research Fellows from Flinders University – discussing her research, and specifically an introduction to Sanfilippo syndrome, a rare form of childhood dementia, and her research on this disease. Regular Dementia Researcher Bloggers Dr Anna Volkmer & Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali lead the interview, helping us to understand Karissa’s work and exploring the science. All types of neurodegenerative diseases share common molecular mechanisms responsible for disease etiology and progression. Karissa, is interested in understanding these shared mechanisms, as targeting the common problems could lead to new therapeutics to benefit more individuals who live with these diseases. To understand the shared molecular mechanisms, Karissa utilises zebra fish, as a model organism. Introducing mutations into zebrafish, equivalent to those which cause neurodegenerative diseases in humans (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, Sanfilippo syndrome childhood dementia), then analysing their brains with very high molecular detail.
