Welcome to the fifth season of the ISTAART PIA Relay Podcast, brought to you by Dementia Researcher. This series features members of ISTAART, engaging in insightful interviews about groundbreaking dementia research, and the work of the ISTAART Professional Interest Areas (PIA) they represent. As we build up to the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Philadelphia, join us for daily episodes that showcase the remarkable work being done in various research fields. -- In this episode, Professor Arlene Astell interviews Caitlyn Fastenau, a PhD candidate in Integrated Biomedical Sciences focusing on the Biology of Ageing. Caitlyn shares her journey into dementia research, driven by personal experiences and a passion for understanding neurodegenerative diseases. Her research explores the role of immune cells, particularly microglia, in Alzheimer’s disease, using advanced techniques like single-cell RNA sequencing. Caitlyn discusses the her work, the importance of diversity in research, highlighting efforts to include underrepresented communities in dementia studies. She also talks about the significance of translational research and the potential non-pharmacological interventions that could reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. Tune in to learn more about the Immunity and Neurodegeneration PIA, what they have planned for AAIC and the latest hot topics in the field, and the collaborative environment that ISTAART provides for researchers at all levels. PS. Don't miss Caitlyn's presentation at the AAIC and her insights on leveraging student engagement in scientific societies. -- The Alzheimer’s Association International Society to Advance Alzheimer’s Research and Treatment (ISTAART) convenes the global Alzheimer’s and dementia science community.

In recognition of the first Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) Awareness Day, this episode explores how speech and language therapists are working to support people with PPA to maintain communication and preserve connections with their loved ones. Dr Shalom Henderson is joined by three leading experts in speech and language therapy—Dr Anna Volkmer, Dr Jackie Kindell, and Rosemary Townsend—who are pioneering innovative interventions to help people living with PPA navigate the challenges of language loss. Together, they discuss the impact of this progressive condition on communication and relationships, and the critical role that speech therapy plays in maintaining meaningful conversations. -- Key Topics Discussed: 🔹 Understanding PPA – What is primary progressive aphasia, how does it affect speech and language, and how does it differ from other forms of dementia? 🔹 The Impact on Relationships – How communication difficulties affect personal relationships and contribute to social isolation. 🔹 The Role of Speech & Language Therapy – Exploring tailored interventions, communication partner training, and strategies that help families stay connected. 🔹 Barriers to Accessing Therapy – The challenges people face in getting speech and language therapy, and why more awareness is needed. 🔹 PPA Awareness Day (4th April 2025) – The first international awareness day dedicated to PPA, aiming to improve recognition, research, and support for those affected. -- This episode highlights the power of speech therapy in transforming lives, offering practical advice and real-world insights from clinical experts and researchers. 📢 Join the conversation!

The Minds in Motion Podcast from Dementia Researcher in association with the NIHR Applied Research Collaborations and Alzheimer’s Society, brings together NIHR Dem Comm Research Fellows, to talk about their research and careers. Over the next few months, we will be releasing the second series, hearing from five of the Dem Comm Fellows each taking e a turn as co-host and guest. Alongside the researchers we have the incredible Trevor Salomon, Alzheimer’s Society Volunteer & Chair of the European Dementia Carers Working Group as our permanent co-host and anchor. In show Trevor is joined by the guest from our previous show Dr Olivia Luijnenburg from King’s College London and the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) South London to interview Dr Elisabeth (Lis) Grey. Lis works in the NIHR ARC West and University of Bristol. Lis is interested in how people with neurodegenerative disorders experience health and care services and is working on developing ways to improve services and support people to live well with these conditions. Lis has had a varied research career – from health services quality and delivery, through public health interventions and social care, and now more secondary and community care. The common threads to this work are health communication – be that between professionals, patient and professional, or to the public – and intervention development and evaluation. Lis mainly uses qualitative methods, particularly interviewing, and she is always excited to hear people’s thoughts and experiences through her work. Dem Comm is a 2 year programme funded by the National Institute of Health and Care Research and the Alzheimer's Society. It supports a new generation of dementia research leaders, bringing together researchers from different multidisciplinary backgrounds to encourage cross-cutting and community-orientated dementia research projects that can address key gaps in the evidence around dementia care and support, delivering transformative translational research.

In this episode of the Dementia Researcher Podcast, guest host Dr Megan Rose Readman from the University of Liverpool discusses the role of peer support and community in research careers. This session explores the importance of support networks at all career stages, from early career to senior roles. Megan is joined by three guests, each with experience in building and sustaining research communities specifically to support researchers working in all areas of Alzheimer's disease and all other forms of dementia, and neurodegeneration: Adam Smith from Dementia Researcher, who discusses their global community, including the recent launch of a new app designed to connect researchers. Dr Oz Ismail from Alzheimer's Association and ISTAART, who provides insights into their professional society’s efforts to support Alzheimer’s research globally. Josh Wright from Alzheimer’s Research UK, who explains the structure and benefits of their UK-wide network, especially for early-career researchers. -- Listeners will gain an understanding of how these communities function and the different forms of support available, from mentoring to practical resources. The episode also touches on how the pandemic has shifted peer support needs, with virtual communities becoming essential for many researchers. -- Five Top Tips from the show: Seek Out Professional Networks: Engaging with professional societies, like ISTAART or Dementia Researcher, can provide access to a broad community of peers and experts, which is especially valuable if you're working in isolation or in a niche area. Leverage Online Communities: Virtual communities offer a space to connect with others in your field, share resources, and find support—important for building connections, particularly when geographic location or funding constraints make in-person networking challenging. Participate in Mentorship Opportunities: Many research networks offer mentorship programmes, often through dedicated platforms or apps, where you can find mentors or become one yourself, helping to navigate career stages or specific research challenges. Engage in Journal Clubs and Special Interest Groups: Virtual journal clubs or topic-specific groups, as seen in Dementia Researcher’s app, allow researchers to discuss recent studies, share insights, and collaborate within specific research interests. Use Peer Support to Improve Wellbeing: Peer support networks provide a safe space for discussing challenges and successes beyond research—such as mental health or career setbacks—offering a layer of personal support often needed in academic careers. -- Full biographies on all our guests and a transcript can be found on our website: https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk Essential links / resources mentioned in the show: ISTAART - https://bit.ly/48E570N Alzheimer's Research UK Network - https://bit.ly/3AKKXpf Dementia Researcher Community App - https://bit.ly/3UJ2jd6 -- Like what you hear?
