Albers Lab

We are moving to 🦋! Follow us @alberslab.bsky.social

Beyza from the Albers Lab presented a poster at this year's @ATheNewANA1 Annual Meeting! She received great feedback and had a fantastic experience. Go Beyza!

First paper with @AlbersLab is available in pre-print!! A bilingual remote olfactory brain health test! So proud to be a part of this!

New preprint from the @AlbersLab 📝 Here is the AROMHA Brain Health Test, a digital olfactory battery designed for remote self-administration as a potential noninvasive screening method for preclinical Alzheimer’s disease and other neurocognitive disorders.

Had the pleasure of catching up with the @AlbersLab in PA! Got to hear exciting updates since I left for med school + have some fun science chats.

This year, for our annual lab retreat, we went to see the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood with all our loved ones. Every year anew, this is a great opportunity to see how big the group has grown! A weekend to remember!

📢Super excited to announce that the Chidley lab will open @Duke_PCB in September 2024, alongside the @amcdarnell lab🥳. The Chidley lab will use genetic screening approaches to dive into the world of transporter proteins and explore how they drive the movement of nutrients,...

It was a pleasure to attend this year's 19th International Symposium on #Olfaction and #Taste in Iceland! @ISOT2024Iceland @benoit_jobin #SmellStudy

It was a great honor and pleasure to present my research at this year’s @KeystoneSymp on Neurodegenerative Diseases in Santa Fe! I met so many inspiring scientists and got insightful feedback. What a great conference! #KSNeurodegen24 #KSNeuroImmune24 @AlbersLab @HiTSatHarvard

🧵Happy to share our last work on tau propagation and smell perception in aging. @LauraOrtizTeran @ThomasNgImaging @AlbersLab Marshall G @will_orwig Kim C @neuroeli Montal V @jokriolo @_PatriziaV Fahkri, Sperling R, Johnson K, @HeidiJacobsLab @SepulcreLab nature.com/articles/s4146…

Check out our newest findings on TYK2 in Alzheimer’s Disease now on @biorxiv_neursci !

These results will soon be published with the goal to inform the construction of smell tests and performance thresholds through a multilingual lens. 👃🏽📊

We also had a poster from @aly__michelle on Cross Cultural Evaluations of Olfactory Dysfunction at @AchemsInfo! Alysa shared her preliminary results on performance differences between English and Spanish speakers on the AROMHA Longitudinal Smell Test.

Our poster sparked considerable interest at ACHEMS, and we can't wait for the paper to come out! 🌟💫#Research #COVID19 #Neurology"

Our clinical research coordinator Beyzanur Ergun presented a  poster titled 'Investigating Smell Function in COVID-19 Patients Using the AROMHA Longitudinal Smell Test' at @AchemsInfo! The AROMHA smell test is a fantastic tool for objective measurements in a longitudinal setting

Last month, @benoit_jobin presented preliminary results from the Albers Lab about the olfactory system of former professional football players from the Harvard Football Players Health Study @PlayersStudy at @AchemsInfo. After some great feedback, a paper is now in preparation🏈👃

Congratulations, Alysa! We wish you lots of success on your journey to becoming an MD-PhD and will miss you in the lab!

Our very own Alexandra Kortchemski gave a great talk on modeling drug repurposing in dementia at this year's EuroCIM in Copenhagen! Alongside her, Marie-Laure Charpignon presented a poster on electronic health records and their use in our research. @TheEuroCIM

Interesting article in the Magazine of Harvard Medical School about olfaction and its connection to memory and health mentioning the work that we do in our lab! magazine.hms.harvard.edu/articles/conne…)

Ready for #AchemS2024. I will present preliminary results of the Harvard Football Players Health Study @PlayersStudy. 🏈👃🧠 Saturday morning -> poster 340 @AchemsInfo @AlbersLab #achems #achems24 #achems2024
