If you like using biomarker ratios for Alzheimer’s disease progression analyses, then check out our new normative statistic that makes efficient use of an entire panel of biomarkers

After success in Phase 2, trontinemab is being tested in Phase 3 for early AD. A prevention trial—PrevenTRON—will start later this year. https://t.co/D9TNuRhFFW

I'll have two computational postdoc positions opening up soon in the @POND_UCL team. One on Alzheimer's clinical trials (data-driven disease models and digital twins). The other on Early Detection via digital/wearable tools. Hit me up for a chat if you're interested.

@TGO_lab @neurothought @bialfoundation @icvs_uminho @Med_UMinho Cool!

[Neil Oxtoby (Toybox Science) @NeilOxtoby]

@TGO_lab @smead2 @Roche Agreed: share the patient-level data openly, or stop pretending that you are sharing (like every pharma company pretends)

The @USC @USCLONI IDA won't let me log in today. Worked two days ago. Changed my password today, but still no go. Anyone else?

Fireside chat at #ADPD2026 including Pharma sees them nodding along with comments about sharing data.

@_JakeVogel_ @xiaoyucaly @anlijuncn …start, not stat :-)

[Neil Oxtoby (Toybox Science) @NeilOxtoby]

@_JakeVogel_ @xiaoyucaly Great stat with @anlijuncn’s excellent talk this morning!

DeepMind at #ADPD2026 claiming that their A.I. Co-Scientist did a particular 10 years of research in 2 days…
…did Co-Scientist have to write grants and teach students in parallel?

@anlijuncn @adpdnet @_neuroproteome @biofinder_study Congrats! Great talk today. Hope to see you Thursday, if not before #TheOtherADPD
