It was a pleasure to speak with colleagues this week during the SAPPRI webinar about global brain health and the importance of ensuring that our brain health clinical work and research reflects our South Asian communities. lnkd.in/p/gY7G-Dm2

Heart care and brain care belong together. Our observational study found no significant increase in long-term dementia risk with coronary stenting or bypass vs no revascularization in older adults with ACS. Article: doi.org/10.1016/j.jacadv.202…

Each Alzheimer’s patient & their clinical course is unique. Understanding disease heterogeneity is important as our biomarkers are becoming more precise & trials move earlier in the diseases course. tinyurl.com/4k3shjdd

Important perspective from Sangeeta Singh on women’s cardiovascular health across Asia-Pacific. Prevention, early recognition and equitable access to care matter—and vascular health is also brain health. lnkd.in/p/gw-8tbWU #WomensHealth #HeartHealth #BrainHealth

Important dementia work underway in India finally receiving recognition- and important lessons for those of us studying brain health in South Asian communities in the U.S. Brain Health in South Asian Communities Date: 10.22.2026 Registration link: buff.ly/MX42Pj4

Blood based biomarkers are changing how we identify & screen participants for Alzheimer’s clinical trials & improving recruitment. Our next challenge is to make sure that what we learn translates across our diverse patient populations & communities. lnkd.in/p/gTRQbgnF

As we begin recruitment for the Alzheimer’s Tau Platform (ATP) at Rush we’ll be looking at how tau directed therapies- in addition to amyloid therapies will be shaping Alzheimer’s Treatments Inside the next frontier for Alzheimer's drugs axios.com/2026/09/28/alzheim…

So happy to see this post. Heart health and brain health should not be separate conversations. We know that many of the vascular factors that influence cardiovascular disease and stroke also impact cognitive health across the lifespan. Click: lnkd.in/p/gWTK393M

Day 2 of the #WomenInMedicine Summit. The importance of Women Physician leadership in clinical trials, support our Rush trainees presenting work on the impact of AD blood-based biomarkers in a cardiology clinic, & connecting with AMWA student leaders working in sex & gender med.

Age boldly. Think brilliantly. 🧠 Terrific 2nd Community Brain Health Summit in Chicago. Thank you Dr. Renarda Jones/Diverse Research Now, our panelists, committee, vendors, volunteers & community partners. Click: lnkd.in/p/gg7eNwnM

Three recent studies ask 3 distinct questions about brain health after repetitive head impacts: neurodegenerative mortality, CTE pathology and dementia, and whether death certificates capture the true disease burden. Link: lnkd.in/p/gyJyaxz3

When an Alzheimer’s trial misses its endpoint, has it failed? A new FASEB Journal Perspective identified 5 recurring issues: wrong target, timing, patient, target engagement or endpoint. My latest Substack: tinyurl.com/mcwktzcb

More than a decade after our early work on the MIND diet, we are asking a new question: We know that diet is related to cognitive functioning —but who might benefit most from a diet intervention? Click: lnkd.in/p/gunmsSqn The MIND clinical trial - lnkd.in/g5ys7Vup

Last week’s AHEAD Study webinar gave me a chance to reflect on 25+ years of Alzheimer’s clinical trials at Rush. Click: lnkd.in/p/g8c7xsaK #ClinicalTrials #AlzheimersResearch #AHEADStudy #Rush #RADCClinicalTrials

Could the eye become a window into brain health? WHO’s updated 2026 guidelines reinforce dementia prevention across the life course. Our A4/LEARN work asks another question: can retinal imaging tell us something about Alzheimer’s biology? Click to read lnkd.in/p/d4ZvChJx

JACC: Advances study: Among >25,000 adults ≥65 with acute coronary syndrome, ~9% developed dementia. Risk wasn’t significantly higher after PCI or CABG. Click: lnkd.in/p/gih_inZH

Wrapped up AAIC in London by presenting our work on HIDO’s automated medication-management system for people living with dementia and caregivers. The goal: safer medication use, greater independence, and peace of mind for families. hidohealth.com #AAIC2026 #DementiaCare

In case you missed it: Check out @AMWADoctors’ recent webinar featuring Leah Fisher, Meryl Comer of @UsAgainstAlz, Calli Cook of @AANP_NEWS and Dr. Neelum Aggarwal of @RushUniversity, moderated by @unbiasedscipod. Watch the recording here: bit.ly/4xNFFSC

Women are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer's disease—as patients, caregivers, advocates, & often the first to recognize cognitive changes. "What Women and Clinicians Should Know About Cognitive Health" Webinar: tinyurl.com/mr32ukmu #BrainHealth #Alzheimers
