Abstract: One in three babies born in 2022 are predicted to receive a diagnosis of dementia in their lifetime. With no disease-modifying treatments on the market, there is a push to reconceptualise drug discovery in dementia by examining healthy agers. This includes those termed “resilient” who have remained cognitively unimpaired despite a high risk of dementia. Dr Sarah Morgan is a new lecturer currently trying to win funding for her research ideas. Sarah will be talking about omics research, in particular genetics, in both Alzheimer’s disease and resilient individuals.
