The Dementia Researcher, ISTAART Relay Podcast is back for a fourth series. Five leading researchers discussing their research, their field, and the work of the Alzheimer’s Association ISTAART Professional Interest Area they represent.
EP3 – Beth Eyre interviews Dr David Cash representing the Neuroimaging PIA. Beth Eyre is a PhD Student (although she recently submitted her thesis and will be defending very soon) at The University of Sheffield. Beth is investigating cognitive and neurovascular function in pre-clinical models of Alzheimer’s disease and in a mixed model of Alzheimer’s and atherosclerosis. Beth is representing the ISTAART Vascular Cognitive Disorders PIA.
Dave Cash is a Principal Research Fellow at University College London. Dave is a biomedical engineer that has worked predominantly in imaging (never let him near your wet lab if you like your glassware). His PhD involved image guided liver surgery at Vanderbilt University, and in 2005, he picked up and moved from the southern United States to London to do a post-doc. That led him to an opportunity to get involved in Alzheimer’s disease trials. Dave is representing the ISTAART Neuroimaging PIA.
The Alzheimer’s Association International Society to Advance Alzheimer’s Research and Treatment (ISTAART) convenes the global Alzheimer’s and dementia science community. Members share knowledge, fuel collaboration and advance research to find more effective ways to detect, treat and prevent Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Professional Interest Areas (PIA) are an assembly of ISTAART members with common subspecialties or interests.
There are currently 29 PIAs covering a wide range of interests and fields, from the PIA to Elevate Early Career Researchers to Biofluid Based Biomarkers and everything in between.
