This Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month, there are more reasons than ever to be optimistic about the future of #Alzheimer's research. Our Interim Executive Director @niranjanbose shares what else gives him hope as we work to accelerate new breakthroughs and #EndAlz.

This month, the AD Data Initiative coalition will be heading to Toronto to attend the @alzassociation International Conference. Stay tuned for updates on when and where to find us at #AAIC25.

Data sharing has revolutionized countless research fields—why not Alzheimer's?. @niranjanbose explains how successful data sharing models in maternal health became the blueprint for #ADRD research.

The open access AD Workbench manuscript is published in @AlzheimersAssoc journal!. First official academic paper about AD Workbench and its suite of tools built for the #ADRD research community, now citable for all research leveraging the platform. Read:

Congratulations to our interoperability partner @imi_epnd on the release of their first biomarker case study dataset on the #EPNDHub today!. The ATN dataset includes data from 350 participants across 10 cohorts, offering valuable insights into AD, PD and LBD.

Thank you, @mason4233 with @AlzheimerEurope and @JayneGoodrick, for sharing your story and inspiring our efforts to accelerate progress in Alzheimer’s research:

“People living with it and the people affected by it, we can bring so much to the table, and we’re willing to help.”. Chris Roberts and Jayne Goodrick share poignant perspectives – one as a person living with Alzheimer’s, the other as his wife and carer.

Congratulations to AD Data Initiative GTAC Member, Prof. Takeshi Iwatsubo, MD, PhD, who will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award in Alzheimer’s Disease Therapeutic Research at #CTAD2025. His groundbreaking work in neuroimaging & neuropathology continues to shape #ADRD research

At #ADPD2025, we asked our partners and colleagues to share their perspective on how data sharing and global research collaboration can accelerate research progress.

At #ADPD2025, we asked our partners and colleagues about the emerging opportunities in #ADRD research and the potential to accelerate research breakthroughs. Here’s what they had to say. What are your thoughts on emerging opportunities in ADRD research in the year ahead?

Meet Kimberley Billingsley, PhD! 🎉 As a Gates Sr. AD Fellow, she will use high-resolution methylation data to develop predictive models for ADRD, identify epigenetic signatures for better risk stratification and early detection, and establish accurate biomarkers. #ADRD

Welcome @taviaevans, PhD! 🎉 As a Gates Sr. AD Fellow, Tavia will apply AI approaches to improve representation in neurodegeneration imaging research. #ADRD

Meet Selena Wang, PhD! 🎉 As a Gates Sr. AD Fellow, Selena will advance generative AI technologies to integrate multimodal neuroimaging data, model ADRD progression, and identify novel biological pathways. Her work aims to predict and delay cognitive decline. #ADRD

Meet Liz Yuanxi Lee, PhD! 🎉 She is joining the Gates Sr. AD Fellows to tackle #Alzheimer's with AI. As a Senior Postdoc at @Cambridge_Uni, Liz will develop AI tools for early #ADRD detection using non-invasive data.

Introducing Cohort II of the William Gates Sr. AD Fellowship Program: Liz Yuanxi Lee, Selena Wang, and @taviaevans. These exceptional researchers are set to help revolutionize #ADRD research with AI-driven approaches.

Always grateful for our fantastic team at AD Data Initiative! We had such a productive and enjoyable week at #ADPD2025. See you next year in Copenhagen! 🇩🇰
