Episode notes

On the 7th September 2020, Adam Smith hosted the Dementia Research Chatathon LIVE - to share information on the wide variety of research taking place across the world, and the raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK. Please continue to donate and help Adam meet his £5,000 target - details can be found at http://www.chatathon.uk.

In a way that everyone can understand, this video features Adam talking with:

Dr Amanda Heslegrave, Senior Research Fellow, UK Dementia Research Institute at UCL. I collaborate with clinical researchers to measure biomarkers of neurodegeneration in a variety of biofluids, most topical right now are blood biomarkers which we are able to measure with the use of super sensitive assay technology - @ajh1269

Dr Josie Jenkinson, Consultant Psychiatrist for Older People, Surrey & Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. I am an NHS doctor and researcher, focusing on long-term specialist continuing care and health services research. I am particularly interested in deliberate self harm in older adults, delirium and dementia care pathways.
