"You don’t go into medicine to invent drugs, but you go into chemistry to invent drugs."
In an interview with @SCIupdate , Dr. Weaver reflects on the experiences that have shaped his approach to Alzheimer's research.

We believe that #Alzheimer's Disease is a global health emergency. In this paper we present five calls to action across five key areas to help avert an escalating societal crisis:
🔬 Research
🩺 Disgnostics
💊 Therapeutics
🛡 Risk reduction
📚 Education

What if a protein that's meant to protect your brain can sometimes go rogue? 🧠

#AlzheimersResearch is challenging. AD involves a complex network of interconnected pathways, each worthy of exploration. Researchers continually innovate, collaborate, and persist in pursuit of a cure.
Together we continue the climb, one step at a time.

I just realized you're on here @DrDonWeaver!!! I wanted to tell you how inspired I was by your talk at AAI and how embarrassed I was for my dogmatic colleagues who tried to just shoot you down in the Q&A. I think your work is groundbreaking and important.

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.

Carley McPherson, Dir. of Research @LakeridgeHealth, shares how community hospitals are critical to Ontario’s clinical trials network, enhancing accessibility and care delivery. #CommunityHealthcare #ClinicalTrials #CTOConf2024 @LakeridgeHealth @cmcpher
Pleased to announce a new publication in Nature Communications: "Computer aided drug design to generate a unique antibiotic family"

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.
