Join us for the next #BrainMatters on Wed., Dec. 4, 7-8pm ET!

We're so lucky to have Dr. Abhay Moghekar with the Johns Hopkins Alzheimer's Disease Research Center as a presenter. He will speak to the process of getting new therapies from the research lab to people in the community who need them.

Abhay Moghekar, MD (Co-Presenter)

Dr. Moghekar will discuss biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease, including recent advances in blood biomarkers. He will discuss the context of use and pathway to approval for community use.

Dr. Moghekar’s biomarker research focuses on establishing standards of use and the discovery of new cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers for the earliest phases of dementia. He also sees patients and has helped develop blood biomarkers that should be available for routine clinical use in 2025.
