SUMMARY:Understanding Alzheimer’s: The Role of Biomarkers in Early Detection and Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Summary: \nThis webinar will focus on key topics related to Alzheimer’s disease\, including biomarkers and early-onset Alzheimer’s. You’ll learn what biomarkers are\, how they’re measured\, and how they’re used in understanding the disease. We’ll also discuss early-onset Alzheimer’s disease\, which affects people under 65\, and why early detection is crucial for managing the disease. \nThe session will also cover the DIAN-TU-002 study\, a research trial focused on people with a rare gene mutation that causes Alzheimer’s. This study is testing whether early treatment can prevent the buildup of amyloid beta\, a protein that forms clumps in the brain and contributes to Alzheimer’s symptoms. You’ll learn about the drug treatment being tested\, how the study works\, who can participate\, and why this research is important for future Alzheimer’s treatments. \nThis webinar is free to attend and is presented in plain language. You will have the opportunity have questions. \nFor more information on the study\, visit: https://tdn.alz.to/research_study/dominantly-inherited-alzheimer-network-trial-primary-prevention-dian-tu-002/ \nThis webinar is presented in partnership with the Toronto Dementia Research Alliance \n  \nAbout the Presenters \nTina Le is a Clinical Research Coordinator at Sunnybrook Research Institute\, focusing on Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia studies with Dr. Mario Masellis.
