January is Alzheimer's Awareness Month. Learn how @DrDonWeaver and researchers at @KBI_UHN are making strides to better understand the disease and develop new approaches to treatment.

Pleased to present at the Clinical Trials Ontario conference. Expanding access to clinical trials in community hospitals & remote sites is crucial to ensuring all Ontarians have the opportunity to benefit from the latest treatments. #ClinicalTrials #HealthEquity #CTOconf2024

Pleased to announce a new publication in Nature Communications: "Computer aided drug design to generate a unique antibiotic family" pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39333560/ Computer-aided molecular design technologies are crucial tools in modern approaches to drug design and discovery.

World Alzheimer's Day We must embrace research and strive, We must caress the living lives Of loving ones with tales untold As glia dance, proteins misfold. Diseases of our brain and mind, Cruel enemy of humankind. To cure AD – the mind, the brain, With scientific hand humane.

Chloe Baloh and Emma Twiss from the Weaver Lab placed 1st and 2nd today at the Krembil Research Institute Summer Student Research Day for their work on Alzheimer's Disease. Congratulations!!

🩸💉Major strides in early Alzheimer’s detection! Study shows a new blood test may be able to detect Alzheimer’s early–with 90% accuracy. “Early diagnosis is important,” said @DrDonWeaver to @CTVNews regarding the findings. Watch the interview now: bit.ly/4d5lBQP

Here is the Treventis #AAIC24 contingent! Drop us a line if you're in Philadelphia this week and would like to meet.

β-Amyloid is a cytokine (kinocidin-type); where kinocidins are immunopeptides with the properties of both cytokines and antimicrobial peptides. What are the implications for drug design for AD? β-Amyloid Is a Kinocidin Cytokine | ACS Chemical Neuroscience pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

See: scientificamerican.com/custom-media/d… An important commentary on the ballooning economic cost of dementia and the need for better resourced research on neurodegeneration. We can pay now or we can pay more later!

Research is our only path to a better tomorrow. Words we must remember, especially within the context of humankind's struggle to conquer neurodegenerative disease.

Endogenous Antimicrobial-Immunomodulatory Molecules: Networking Biomolecules of Innate Immunity pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38658319/ Beta-Amyloid is part of a synergistic self-triggering network of antimicrobial-immunomodulatory molecules - perhaps a useful insight for drug design!
