Exciting news! Our findings on the Lumipulse #pTau217 assay were featured in @theheraldsun and @dailytelegraph. In this interview, Prof. Christopher Rowe explains the difference this blood test could make for #Alzheimers diagnosis. Have a read here: dailytelegraph.com.au/news/v…

Pleased to present our paper @eBioMedicine, on the Lumipulse plasma pTau217 assay. Lumipulse-G platform → large global installation base in clinical pathology services → better access/uptake of plasma #ptau217 into clinical practice. Link: doi.org/10.1016/j.ebiom.2024… #Alzheimers

Exciting results!🧠✨Our latest study showcases that plasma P217 tau can distinguish Intermediate or Advanced stage #Alzheimer's, defined based on the 2023 biological PET staging scheme. Dive into the details in our preprint: medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #AlzheimersResearch

Key findings: -Basal forebrain atrophy is associated with Aβ and cognitive impairment. -Ch4p is more vulnerable to AD pathology than other subregions. -The cholinergic system may be a potential target for AD early intervention

Privileged to have had the Victorian minister for health, infrastructure and medical research, @MaryAnneThomas visit @TheFlorey to hear about all the exciting projects, including our brain PET dementia research #dementia #Alzheimer
Melbourne is home to world's best brain research at @TheFlorey, with researchers working on treatments for Alzheimer's, the neurology of mental health, drugs for MND, & stem cells to cure Parkinson's. Big thanks to Prof Trevor Kilpatrick & the team for welcoming me today .
