Our new head-to-head comparison of the Janssen and Alzpath plasma p-tau217 assays is now published in EMBO Mol. Medicine Congratulations to Andrea L. Benedet on her first paper as a senior author! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy to share that my first original study as a PhD student is now published in @BrainComms. It talks about the use of tau-PET to predict impairment in activities of daily living in Alzheimer's disease. Big thanks to my team for all the support🧠 academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…

Why do female patients with AD have more pronounced tau pathology compared to males? Wang et al. provide evidence that amyloid modulates tau phosphorylation in a sex-specific manner, contributing to faster neurofibrillary tau accumulation in females. tinyurl.com/5n7jfpf8

Don’t know anyone who would deserve this award as much as Rosa Neto, Pedro -! I couldn’t have dreamed of a better supervisor 🧠💜 to many more years of collaborating together Alzheimer's Association

Cody et al. implement a novel time framework to characterize the accumulation of tau pathology and cognitive decline relative to amyloid onset in Alzheimer’s disease, explaining a considerable amount of heterogeneity in early disease progression. tinyurl.com/387n66xm

Congratulations to Young Investigator Award winners Corrina Fonseca and Samira Maboudian 🧠 on excellent talks summarizing their work!

Congratulations to Jacob Ziontz, Corrina Fonseca, Samira Maboudian 🧠 & Stefania Pezzoli for their award at the Alzheimer’s disease research symposium ✨🧠 such a beautiful representation of the Jagust lab! ♥️

Look at this beauty! The human brain has around 86 billion neurons, which “talk” to each other using a combination of electrical and chemical signals. The places where neurons connect and communicate with each other are called synapses. Each neuron has anywhere between a few to

The newly updated Alzheimer’s Association criteria for diagnosis and staging of Alzheimer’s disease are now published! It was a real pleasure to take active part in this work. doi.org/10.1002/alz.13…

Congratulations to Bruna Bellaver for receiving the Publication of the Year Award from the Biofluid Based Biomarkers ISTAART Professional Interest Area at PIA day, for her recent paper in Nature Medicine! #AAIC24

Excellent session on #TauPET harmonization in the #HEAD_Study! Proud to be part of this multisite study team with massive effort of our lab members especially #SophiaWagner, #NickHu, & Dr. Ji-Hyun Kim Oh Lab @ Brown #AAIC24

Fantastic presentations about harmonizing Tau PET tracers in the HEAD Study. Very glad I get to be part of this project and amazing team! #AAIC24

So happy we got to present a featured research session of the HEAD study at #AAIC24, together with Firoza Z. Lussier Quentin Finn Guilherme Povala Nesrine Rahmouni, chaired by Tharick Pascoal and #SuzanneBaker, co PIs of HEAD! Don’t forget to check the new website head-study.info/home
