What a fantastic weekend in Sydney attending the Masterclass of the Ageing Brain with Dr Kim Roffel and Jayne Dohrmann NP!
We were fortunate to hear from an exceptional group of leading neurologists, geriatricians and researchers, exploring Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Lewy body dementia and other neurological conditions.
One of the highlights for us was hearing about the exciting advances in dementia research and what the future may hold for diagnosis and treatment. From monoclonal antibody therapies targeting beta-amyloid (Aβ) and emerging research into tau proteins, to new blood based biomarkers such as p-tau217, there are some remarkable developments taking place.
It was fascinating to hear directly from researchers involved in these advances and encouraging to see the potential for earlier diagnosis and treatments that may change the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
So much to take away and reflect on, both personally and in our clinical practice.
Of course, we also managed to make the most of the beautiful Sydney weather, enjoy some great company and were even treated to a spectacular fireworks display at Darling Harbour! 🎆
A wonderful weekend of learning, great conversations and a little time to enjoy Sydney!
