Congratulations to Dr. Avi Samelson, Assistant Professor in @UCLANeurology and @BC_UCLA, on receiving the 2025 Turken Research Award! This award, funded and supported by the Sam and Ida Turken Charitable Foundation and @AlzheimersLA, aims to advance #Alzheimer’s research.

The @UCLANeurology Easton Center staff had the opportunity to connect with caregivers at Keiro’s 2025 Caregiver Conference on Saturday, Oct. 25, in Gardena! They shared resources on #Alzheimers risk, the @UCLAHealth Amyloid Immunotherapy Care Program, and ongoing clinical trials.

@pgolshani Terrible news. Prayers for Helya

Such heartbreaking news.. Helya Bahari-Kashani who was an undergraduate researcher in the lab lost her life in a house fire in Canada. Arson is suspected. Others in her family were also killed. Please keep Helya in your thoughts. Wishing solace for her family.

Alzheimer’s research can’t wait. Your gift sustains vital projects, supports young investigators & preserves hope for a dementia-free future. Every gift matters—please give today: #ResearchPowersProgress giving.ucla.edu/Campaign/Donat…

Blood-based biomarker vs. brain imaging for diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and brain degeneration: 🎤 Mic drop. Game over. Blood-based biomarkers of vascular cognitive impairment and dementia are in the works and coming! And before long we’ll have panels for overall brain health prediction. Exciting future! Thanks #AAIC25 and @VascularPIA for the fun debate and @neurology_live for covering it.

On 7/18, Nancy Osuch from the Easton Center @UCLANeurology @UCLAHealth shared Alzheimer’s research updates with seniors at the Altadena Senior Center—covering risk factors and FDA-approved treatment options for MCI and early Alzheimer’s patients.🔗 eastonad.ucla.edu/patient-care/a…

Thrilled to be here!

June is #Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month. 🧠 The Easton Center for Alzheimer’s Research and Care at UCLA @UCLANeurology @UCLAHealth is dedicated to advancing research, delivering compassionate care, supporting families, and offering hope to those affected.💜

So excited to be back in #Boston to present new data on post-stroke biomarkers from @DiscoveryStudy with all the site PIs and CRCs. Great work supported by @NINDSfunding

On May 15th, the Annual Faith & Health Luncheon was co-sponsored by West Angeles Church, @alzheimersla, and @UCLAEastonAD. Over 300 members of local Black churches gathered to learn about #dementia caregiving, with a focus on wandering/ getting lost. @UCLANeurology @UCLAHealth

A sincere thank you to Dr. Tirth Patel of @UCLANeurology @UCLAHealth for presenting at the recent Brain-Health Education and Advocacy Movement (BEAM) meeting! Club members gained invaluable insights into #dementia and #Alzheimers, from cutting-edge diagnosis to treatment options.

#AlzheimersDisease (AD) is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., emphasizing the need for treatment. Jesus Campagna, Dongwook Wi, Barbara Jagodzinska and Dr. Varghese John showcase how enhanced secretory clusterin improves memory in AD mice. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40322539/

Help support Alzheimer’s care and research in California. Take a moment to reach out to legislators and make a difference for families affected by #Alzheimer’s. It’s quick and easy! alz-ca.quorum.us/campaign/11598… @UCLAHealth @UCLANeurology @alzassociation @socALZ

We are thrilled to introduce the UCLA Neurology Residency Class of 2029! Please join us in congratulating and welcoming our newest residents! #MatchDay2025 @UCLAHealth @dgsomucla @UCLA

This past weekend, BEAM members visited The Watermark senior living community at Westwood Village to present information on #memory & aging. They educated seniors about the signs of memory loss, offered free brain health screenings, and provided additional resources to attendees!

Members of the Brain-health Education and Advocacy Movement (BEAM), an undergraduate student club affiliated with @UCLAEastonAD, spoke with Dr. Dan Silverman of UCLA Molecular & Medical Pharmacology to discuss the importance of NeuroPET scans to assess neurodegenerative diseases.
