During the AAIC, Dementia Researcher will be recording a podcast each day to reflect on the highlights from the days presentations. These shows will then be released the following day to share some of the great work, and to encourage listeners / viewers to revist things they may have missed. This year we're joining the conference online, and are looking for people who are also participating online to join us in our virtual recording studio - from anywhere in the world. Ideally we look for 3 people each day (Sunday - Wednesay), and recordings will be done at 7pm BST. We record these conference highlight shows each year, and they're super popular. It is a great way to potentially raise your own profile, and also share your thoughts with the wider community. Recordings are usually 30-40 minutes and you can listen to last years here. If you have time and are interested in being a guest, email us at dementiaresearcher@ucl.ac.uk

The Dementia Researcher, ISTAART Relay Podcast is back for a fourth series. Five leading researchers discussing their research, their field, and the work of the Alzheimer’s Association ISTAART Professional Interest Area they represent. -- Part One – Dr Imre Lengyel interviews Dr Maura Malpetti, representing the Frontotemporal Dementia PIA. -- Imre Lengyel is a Reader (Associate professor) at Queen's University Belfast. Imre is researching how we could use the eye as a less expensive, better tolerated, and faster marker to monitor the progression of neurodegeneration. He undertakes clinical eye imaging and use postmortem tissues to generate molecular and high-resolution anatomical confirmation for the changes we see in eye images. Imre is representing the ISTAART The Eye as a Biomarker for AD PIA. -- Maura Malpetti is a Race Against Dementia Fellow at University of Cambridge. Maura focusses on multimodal imaging techniques (multi-tracer PET and MRI) integrated with fluid markers, post-mortem validation, and prognostic modelling approaches in frontotemporal lobar degeneration. Maura is representing the ISTAART Frontotemporal Dementia PIA. -- The Alzheimer’s Association International Society to Advance Alzheimer’s Research and Treatment (ISTAART) convenes the global Alzheimer’s and dementia science community. Members share knowledge, fuel collaboration and advance research to find more effective ways to detect, treat and prevent Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Professional Interest Areas (PIA) are an assembly of ISTAART members with common subspecialties or interests. -- There are currently 29 PIAs covering a wide range of interests and fields, from the PIA to Elevate Early Career Researchers to Biofluid Based Biomarkers and everything in between. To sign-up to ISTAART and a PIA visit: https://istaart.alz.org Note: ISTAART Membership is free for students worldwide, and for researchers of all levels based in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. -- To book your place at this year’s AAIC (In-person and online) visit: https://aaic.alz.org You can also enjoy this show as a videoon our YouTube Channel at: https://youtu.be/6vEwiXb2iyo -- Find more information on our guests, and a full transcript of this podcast on our website at: https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/podcast -- The views and opinions expressed by guests in this podcast represent those of the guests and do not necessarily reflect those of NIHR Dementia Researchers, PIA membership, ISTAART or the Alzheimer's Association.
