Huge congrats to Snehal! 🎉 Successful PGR Conference Fund app AND De Laszo Early Career Researcher Prize at #ARUKconf25! Amazing achievement!
📢 Doctoral researcher from Brunel Psychology Snehal Pandya presented at the Alzheimer's Research UK Conference recently #ARUKConf25! 🧠✨
🎤 Snehal delivered a great talk on "Investigating Associations between Polygenic Risk Scores for Alzheimer’s Disease and Structural Brain Changes".
Had an amazing time at #ARUKConf25!
Inspiring talk from the FTD Brothers and great insights from QMUL dementia researchers @charlesmarshall.bsky.social & Petroula (Petra) Proitsi. Fascinating learning about the latest in biomarkers, prevention & neuroimaging and some amazing posters too!
And of course, #ARUKConf25 was a fantastic opportunity to share the work we do on #epigenetics of #dementias! #DNAmethylation #BettencourtLab @uclqsion.bsky.social
#ForACure 🧠
Had a brilliant time at #ARUKConf25! Came back full of inspiration. Highlights – inspirational story of lived experience by Jordan #TheFTDBrothers, latest updates on omics, biomarkers, treatments, and so much more on ongoing #dementia #research. #ForACure @alzheimersresearchuk.org
Had a brilliant time in Birmingham this week but I do have to say the Early Careers Day was my favourite this year even if i am biased. Fantastic talks from both early career researchers and our invited experts. #arukconf25
A slide that says 1st November 1969 - 27th November 2024 with Michael O’Neill written at the top and a photo of him smiling and eating food.
A photo of Ian Harrison winning the David hague early career investigator of the year award shown on a slide with him at a lectern.
A photo of smiley researchers after a conference dinner.
A photo from keynote talk from centenarians with advice they believe kept them alive for this long.
Another amazing #ARUKConf25 as per usual! Catching up with friends, seeing and chatting about amazing science is always a boost. Also lovely to see such a nice tribute to Mike O’Neill, former boss of mine and killer researcher in dementia drug discovery. Can’t wait to get home to bed now 😴
Fantastic few days at #ARUKconf25 as always, but WELCOME BACK TO MANCHESTAAAA!
That’s a wrap on #ARUKConf25! Two incredible days of learning, networking & inspiring research. What were your biggest takeaways? Drop them below! ⬇️

Great pre-conference final day 5km @alzheimersresearchuk.org - so lucky to have met so many madly intelligent but also sound people this week #ARUKconf25
How can we involve the public in lab-based research? @alzresearchuk.bsky.social's Josie Waters, Joann Leeding & @katybray.bsky.social discuss the power of public involvement in shaping scientific discovery. #PublicInvolvement #ARUKConf25
Do stop by Tim’s poster at #ARUKConf25 , he has done very well for his first PhD conference 👌🧠 @timfung.bsky.social
Omics & neurodegeneration – How do genomics, transcriptomics & epigenetics shape dementia research? Experts Emma Dempster, @ppetra.bsky.social tra.bsky.social and Ben Middlehurst dive into cutting-edge findings. #Neurodegeneration #ARUKConf25
Look out for our stand today at #ARUKconf25 we're at stand 5!
You'll be able to discuss our technologies for #neuroscience & more!
Plus enter our competitions to take home a @giantmicrobes.bsky.social which one will you choose?

Spotlight on Early Career Research! De Laszlo Prize winner Snehal Pandya takes the stage to share fresh insights into Alzheimer’s risk factors. #ARUKConf25
A sensational opener to day 2 at #ARUKConf25 as @MiiaKivipelto talks us through the power of precision prevention in fighting dementia 🩺
The sheer scale of ongoing research is baffling - great to see how quickly the field is moving forward and global 🌍

Understanding risk factors in Alzheimer’s disease! Kicking off with a plenary from Prof. Miia Kivipelto, a global leader in dementia prevention & risk reduction. Stay tuned for key takeaways! #ARUKConf25
☕ Rise & shine for Day 2 of #ARUKConf25! Today, we’re tackling risk factors, omics in neurodegeneration, public involvement, and groundbreaking research awards. What are you most excited about? Let’s dive in!
5K run complete! A great way to kickstart the day with networking on the move! Now time for coffee & an inspiring line-up of sessions. #arukconf25
And a great take away from the plenary session this morning... "Eat lots of fish and onions" - advice from a centenarian. Wonderful talk from Dr Henne Holstege. #ARUKConf25
Having a wonderful time at the #ARUKConf25, always such a great conference for inspiration. Zac Sherwani asked us to be two things yesterday:
To be kind, and to be relentless. Be kind to everyone you meet, as you never know what they're going through. And be relentless with our research! 🧡
That’s a wrap on Day 1! So many incredible insights shared. What was your highlight of the day? Share your thoughts! #ARUKConf25
"It's a chink in the armour..."
Stellar debate to end day 1 at #ARUKConf25 - is amyloid the way to a cure? Or will early victories in anti-amyloid medications be overwhelmed by other drivers?
For now what they DO show is that treatment is possible #FORACURE
🔥 Burning debate incoming! Expect a lively discussion on the most pressing issues in dementia research. What’s your take on today’s big topics? #ARUKConf25
