ISTAART Relay Podcast - Neuroimaging PIA
The Dementia Researcher, ISTAART PIA Relay Podcast is back for a second, 5-part series. Where the interviewee becomes the interviewer. With five leading researchers discussing their research, their field, and the work of the Alzheimer\u2019s Association ISTAART Professional Interest Area they represent.\n\nPart Three \u2013 Professor Jennifer Whitwell interviews Dr Betty Tijms\n\nJennifer Whitwell is a Professor of Radiology at the May Clinic, Rochester having originally grown up and trained in the UK. Jennifer\u2019s research focuses on the investigation of neuroimaging biomarkers, including MRI and PET, in different neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer\u2019s disease and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. She is particularly focused on using neuroimaging to better understand disease mechanisms and progression in patients with atypical clinical presentations of Alzheimer\u2019s disease, highlighting the phenotypic heterogeneity present in this disease. Jennifer is representing the Atypical Alzheimer\u2019s Disease PIA.\n\nDr Betty Tijms is an Associate Professor at the Alzheimer center, department of Neurology, Amsterdam UMC in the Netherlands. Jennifer\u2019s research focusses on better understanding interindividual differences in the early stages of Alzheimer\u2019s disease that are related to developing dementia, through MR imaging and CSF proteomic analyses. She has recently, started work on cerebrospinal fluid proteomics as one of the most comprehensive measures to get more insight into interindividual differences in underlying pathophysiological processes. Betty is representing the Neuroimaging PIA.\n\nYou can find out more about our panellists, and their work on our website:\n\nhttps://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk \n\nA transcript of this podcast is also available here\n\nhttps://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/podcast-relay-one-season-2\n___________________________\n\nLike what you hear?
