We are thrilled to share that the CCANDL will be well-represented at the upcoming Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC26) in London, UK! Our team members, students, and collaborators will be presenting cutting-edge research covering digital speech biomarkers, subjective cognitive decline, neuroimaging, and the intersection of hearing health and cognition. If you are attending the conference …
📣 New publication alert! Congratulations to CCANDL’s Deling He on her recent publication! This study found that incorporating proper name recall into a commonly used cognitive assessment enhanced its sensitivity to plasma p-tau217, a key biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease. Congratulations Deling!
We are so lucky to collaborate with such an incredible clinician and researcher. If you have the chance, check out Dr. Chin’s new book!
Congratulations to CCANDL’s biostatistician Kristin Basche and collaborators on their recent publication examining proper name recall and pTau217 as potential markers of early cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease research. This work highlights how subtle changes in memory can help identify cognitive decline earlier in at-risk adults.
