Headed to beautiful San Diego for #SfN22 . Stoked to share all of my PhD work with @RobersonLabUAB on Monday afternoon! Stop by poster G26 for a great discussion and some small-molecule drug development for #Alzheimer 's disease therapeutics.

In the early stages of #Alzheimers, dynamically acquired amyloid PET data enable estimating the likelihood of tau PET positivity — led by @UABMSTP student Fabio Raman in collaboration with @WUADRC @tlsmit1 @UABRadiology @uab_neurology #NIAfundedADRC jnm.snmjournals.org/content/…

Dynamic Amyloid PET: Relationships to Flortaucipir Tau PET Measures

Rationale: Measuring amyloid and predicting tau status using a single amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) study would be valuable for assessing brain AD pathophysiology. We hypothesized that...

Although the microtubule stabilizer TPI-287 had adverse effects, the innovative basket design of this trial we conducted with @UCSFmac proved useful for detecting differential effects in various tauopathies (#Alzheimer, PSP, corticobasal syndrome)
