UNT Health Institute for Translational Research

We’re expanding our work. Introducing @Everything__AD, a new initiative under the Peter Cohen Foundation focused on Alzheimer’s disease and brain health. Neurodegenerative diseases share overlapping biology, and progress in one area can accelerate breakthroughs across others. This is a natural next step in our commitment to citizen-driven research and open dialogue. Join us tomorrow for our first EverythingAD Expert Talk, including live Q&A.

🏃 🐮 🏅 What an inspiring event with @thecowtown and @unthealth! Our medical students and ITR staff brought their A-game last weekend, volunteering to help race runners, bringing resources to the community, and even participating in the race themselves. #BrainHealth #Inspiring #Community

From runners to medical volunteers, #UNTHealth showed up and showed out at the annual Cowtown Marathon! 🤠 We're always proud to serve and support our Fort Worth community. 💚

We're working toward a safe and healthy race, but we're always prepared if something goes awry. We're grateful to @unthealth  for staffing the medical tents for The 2026 Cowtown!

💙🧠February Is Heart Health Month — and Your Heart and Brain Are Deeply Connected. Take a look at this amazing photo, featuring the sun shining a heart over @unthealth from one of our staff members, and read more about heart and brain health research from one of our faculty. Improving heart health is one of the most powerful steps you can take to protect your brain. #Hearthealth #Research #Brainhealth pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC77…

ITR's Neuroimaging Core Lead, Dr. @karin_meeker recently attended the Human Amyloid Imaging Conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico! 🧠🌴 The meeting highlighted exciting progress, including new tracers targeting inflammation and alpha-synuclein, a growing focus on modifiers of Alzheimer’s disease risk and progression, and emerging AI tools for ADRD imaging and biomarker research. Lots of thoughtful discussion and forward-looking science across the community. #HAI #ADRD #Neuroimaging #BrainResearch @UNTHealth_TCOM @unthealth

This #RandomActsOfKindnessDay we're choosing to be kind to ourselves and you should too. 🫶 You're doing great!

🏅 🎿 Hear from Dr. Gregory Knell, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology, and an ITR collaborator, about his favorite Olympic game to watch and the importance they might play in our own health habits. @unthealth @UNTHealth_TCOM @UNTHealth_CPH

We can't wait to be back and help serve our community! 🎉💙

Today marks the first day of Black History Month. Black and Latino communities are at increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease — Black Americans are 2x more likely to develop Alzheimer’s than White Americans. Early detection matters. 💜 Mybrainguide.org
