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.

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.

β-Amyloid is a cytokine (kinocidin-type); where kinocidins are immunopeptides with the properties of both cytokines and antimicrobial peptides. What are the implications for drug design for AD?

An important commentary on the ballooning economic cost of dementia and the need for better resourced research on neurodegeneration. We can pay now or we can pay more later!

[Donald Weaver @DrDonWeaver]

Research is our only path to a better tomorrow. Words we must remember, especially within the context of humankind's struggle to conquer neurodegenerative disease.

Beta-Amyloid is part of a synergistic self-triggering network of antimicrobial-immunomodulatory molecules - perhaps a useful insight for drug design!
