The Brain Health Registry team is excited to share an opportunity for all our participants and study partners to learn about cutting edge findings in the Alzheimer’s disease and dementia field!
The Alzheimer’s Association International Conference is the largest annual conference during which researchers, clinicians, caregivers, and others from across the globe convene to discuss the latest developments in Alzheimer’s research.
This year, anyone who is interested can register to attend the final day of the conference (August 1st, 2024) for free. You have the option to attend virtually or in person in Philadelphia, PA.
The link below includes more details about the event, called AAIC For All, and will allow you to register to attend: https://alz.org/aaic-for-all/overview.asp
Strides in Alzheimer’s disease research
Dr. Michael Weiner, the Principal Investigator of the Brain Health Registry, will be delivering a plenary talk on Thursday, August 1st, during AAIC For All. Dr. Weiner will be discussing the impact of the pioneering Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) study on the field.
ADNI, also led by Dr. Weiner, launched 20 years ago. Over the course of two decades, ADNI has facilitated understanding of how the brain changes during Alzheimer’s, and has improved our ability to diagnose the disease. Furthermore, data from ADNI, which is publicly available to researchers, is catalyzing the development of novel treatments for Alzheimer’s disease.

AAIC For All attendees will have the opportunity to see Dr. Weiner’s presentation, either virtually or in person! We hope you join us!
