Tanz Centre research challenges long-held view of early-stage Alzheimer's disease: bit.ly/3r7e3dp

“For the first time, this research indicates the extent to which somatostatin could be important in Alzheimer’s disease,” says Gerold Schmitt-Ulms, LMP faculty member. His research at @tanzuoft is challenging long-held views of the disease. ow.ly/ZIVC50OUk1e

A study led by #TemertyMed Prof. Gabor Kovacs (@GGKovacsBrain) reveals new insights into the mechanism underlying Lewy body disorders such as Parkinson's and dementia. @UHN bit.ly/3Z3OkOh

Congratulations to Tanz researcher Dr. Philip McGoldrick on being named the 2022 Career Transition Award recipient.

Repeat traumatic brain injuries may increase your risk for a condition called Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). #TemertyMed Prof. Carmela Tartaglia talked about how she’s working to identify diagnostic tools to predict CTE ⁦@UHN⁩ bit.ly/3sY6rYm

In support of @tanzuoft, Sean Nuttall swam 100km across Lake Ontario in 42 hours. He became only the second person to achieve a double-crossing. Read more about Sean's story & why he did the swim in memory of his father in this @globeandmail piece tgam.ca/3q5RUIR

Some behind-the-scenes photos of Sean Nuttall (and #TemertyMed Prof. Graham Collingridge) as he takes off on his record-breaking swim in support of @tanzuoft!

"This approach is potentially game-changing," says Dr. Fasano from UHN's @C_R_A_N_I_A UHN researchers at @KBI_UHN develop an approach to better tailor deep brain stimulation to patients' needs to help with conditions, such as Parkinson's disease. More → bit.ly/3P3ZH3z

Sean Nuttall's record-breaking swim will raise funds for the Tanz Centre in memory of his father. “I’m hoping this swim inspires others to dream big while also supporting a wonderful cause. Every little bit helps,” he says. bit.ly/3J71LH2
