Their team has developed an AI model that predicts Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers (Aβ and τ) using widely available clinical data. This breakthrough could provide a more accessible and scalable way to screen for AD and identify candidates for clinical trials, potentially reducing the need for costly and limited PET scans. For more information, please read the full […]
📢 The team has developed an AI model for differential diagnosis of dementia using multimodal data, including demographics, medical history, neuropsychological assessments, and neuroimaging. This model achieved a microaveraged AUROC of 0.96 in differentiating dementia etiologies and significantly improved diagnostic accuracy when used alongside clinician assessments. Discover how this innovation can transform dementia care and […]

Benjamin Wolozin at the BU School of Medicine addresses the controversy and questions about the new Biogen drug.
The Boston University Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, Ambassador Program is an organization at a local level that works to educate the community about research participation in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials and studies. These goals will be achieved through education and outreach events in the Boston community and through community memory screenings. Program Expectations/Requirements: At least […]
Researchers have developed a computer algorithm based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can accurately predict the risk for and diagnose Alzheimer’s disease using a combination of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), testing to measure cognitive impairment, along with data on age and gender.
