This week the Dementia Researcher Podcast shines a spotlight on last months DSAD-ADAD Conference, which focused on Down Syndrome Associated Alzheimer's disease (DSAD) and Autosomal Dominant Alzheimer's Disease (ADAD). The conference, held in Barcelona, brought together over 160 researchers from 16 countries to discuss groundbreaking research in the fight against Alzheimer's disease.
The podcast hosted Sára Erzsebet Zsadányi features three guests, Natalie Edwards, Dr Lisi Flores Aguilar, and Professor Jason Hassenstab. Together they share news from the conference and discuss various topics from genetic predispositions to treatment strategies. The conference highlighted the importance of collaboration and the overlap between DSAD and ADAD research. The podcast also touches on the potential of using retinal imaging as a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease, the importance of considering sex and APOE4 homozygotes in research, and the need for more patient perspectives in clinical trials.
