Biofluid biomarkers can help differentiate neurodegenerative diseases from primary psychiatric disorders. Read the two recently published papers by #ISTAART @NeuroPsychPIA member @superdha from @themindstudy: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… and alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Just out with some of my fave collaborators: @themindstudy. We looked at relationships between age and neurofilament light protein in psychiatric disorders compared to healthy individuals and found differential age trajectories in SCZ and bipolar disorder. tinyurl.com/52ybtfd4

Grateful to share knowledge on #YOD and psychiatric disorders including @themindstudy at #RANZCP2024 @RANZCP . Thanks to the team at @TheRMH and Neuropsychiatry

“This crucial work to fill in gaps in our knowledge and improve understanding of brain blood biomarkers in under-researched, diverse conditions and settings, ultimately aims for wide, routine, equitable clinical translation...” - Dr Eratne @superdha ranzcp.org/news-analysis/…

Dr Dhamidhu Eratne was awarded the #RANZCPFoundation Catalyst grant for his project MiND the Gap: fast tracking implementation of #brainhealth and #dementiadiagnosis and risk prediction blood tests in Australia. Read more➡️ranzcp.org/news-analysis/… @superdha @themindstudy

What a lovely surprise to be on the cover (of the latest issue of ANZJP)! journals.sagepub.com/home/anp journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117… Thank you!

Our latest preprint: we found that plasma NfL was elevated in Niemann-Pick Type C, but GFAP wasn’t. More evidence for the diagnostic utility of NfL in devastating conditions like NPC. We’d love to hear your thoughts. @superdha @MarkWalterfang @Doctor_Samba @TheRMH @UniMelbMDHS

Thanks as always to all our incredible collaborators, & especially all participants, their families, & their clinicians. & oops, more folk to mention and thank! @cassie_wannan @Amy_x_Coe @TheRMH @MACHAustralia @UniMelb @UniMelbMDHS

3) we found higher levels in people with bipolar disorder, compared to controls. This intriguing finding sheds more light on psychiatric conditions, could suggest some degree of neuronal injury in bipolar, & we are investigating this further

Very pleased to announce our latest publication. We investigated blood NfL to distinguish bvFTD from psychiatric conditions, with 3 main findings (below), & developed an interactive online NfL reference range app. Thanks to all our amazing collaborators! themindstudy.org/blood-neurofil…

Hey Science Twitter! We'd love suggestions for relevant journals that accept short reports so we can find a home for our recent work! "Plasma neurofilament light protein provides evidence of accelerated brain aging in treatment-resistant schizophrenia" tinyurl.com/yvc7sec4

So proud of the team @dangbrain, @MattJYKang, Michelle, and @superdha Looking quite serious in this photo. Hopefully a more relaxed silly photo at dinner this evening!

Well done MiNDtastic team for a fantastic symposium today at #BPA2023! Thanks to everyone who came & for the great discussion. Learnt a great deal from all the other amazing speakers & posters, & look forward to more discussions & collaborations! Thanks @biolpsychaust @BPA_ECRN

@SterredeBoer1 @superdha @MattJYKang @dangbrain @biolpsychaust @BPA_ECRN @TheRMH @UniMelbMDHS @UniMelb Hi Sterre, I don’t think sessions were recorded, unfortunately :( come down under again next year, for next year’s meeting?! :)

@themindstudy @superdha @MattJYKang @dangbrain @biolpsychaust @BPA_ECRN @TheRMH @UniMelbMDHS @UniMelb Is it recorded? Sounds like a very interesting program!

Fantastic program, amazing speakers & posters at #BPA2023! It's very early tomorrow, but pls come to The MiND Study symposium; great talks from @superdha @MattJYKang @dangbrain & Michelle Chiu on biomarkers to improve diagnosis & care of neuropsychiatric conditions @biolpsychaust

Day 3 of #BPA2023, symposium 4 will discuss about the markers in neuropsychiatric disorders. Discussants: @superdha @JessieWHChen @DrMattKang
