Assistant Professor, Penn Frontotemporal Degeneration Center, University of Pennsylvania. My research focuses on imagining, biomarkers, and cognition in earlier-onset neurodegenerative diseases.

🧠 PhD position available! Study polypathology in the medial temporal lobe at the Paris Brain Institute with @lemwisse.bsky.social , @nvillain-alz.bsky.social and myself. This exciting project combines neuroimaging, neuropathology and cognition! Please share widely 🙏

Super excited to announce a PhD position on polypathology in the medial temporal lobe at the Paris Brain Institute together with @nvillain-alz.bsky.social and @robindeflores.bsky.social! offres.institutducerveau-icm.org/fr/jobs/1935... Please repost!

Starting shortly--please join us to review key research from 2024 on atypical Alzheimer's disease, selective vulnerability, anti-amyloid therapies, and other topics of interest!

Do not forget to join us for the @istaart.bsky.social Atypical AD PIA #YearinReview webinar today! The webinar will be led by @jeffandthebrain.bsky.social followed by a discussion with @rikossenkoppele.bsky.social @baaylab.bsky.social & Colin Groot! Register here: alz-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

In 833 cognitively unimpaired older adults, obesity related differently to brain tau across ethnoracial subgroups. To find out more, come talk to Victoria Tennant at poster #143 tomorrow (Friday) 11:05 am-12 at Human Amyloid Imaging #HAI2025 Follow her at -->@victoriatennant.bsky.social

Shana Stites kicks off an engaging joint session organized by the @ISTAART Neuroimaging and Diversity & Disparities PIAs. Some hard questions asked about the ethical obligations that we have to people who may be eligible for anti-amyloid therapies but who lack access and insurance coverage. #HAI2025

#HAI2025: Gil Rabinovici asks if it's time to update the [tiny] GAAIN dataset to have a better-powered source for amyloid PET tracer harmonization. But Centiloid 2.0 is in the works, says Julie Price! Cliff Jack notes one important application is biologic staging for diagnosis and treatment.

#HAI025: Cecile Tissot presents analyses from the cross-tracer HEAD dataset showing starkly lower noise-to-dynamic-range ratio (NRR) with MK6240 than with 3 alternative tau tracers. But unclear how these differences affect classification/diagnostic accuracy, especially averaging across a large ROI.

Reports from #HAI2025: Ganna Blazhenets wins best talk title automatically, with "Every centiloid, everywhere, all at once", plus accompanying movie poster! And Guillherme Povala from Pittsburgh (❤️) rolls out the UniTau package for cross-trace tau PET harmonization--definitely going to try this!

Gorgeous weather in San Juan for #HAI2025! We'll be presenting the latest PI-2620 tau PET results from @PennFTDCenter and the Penn ADRC on Friday--stop by poster 173 to chat! AND would love to talk if you're interested in postdoc opportunities at Penn.

Last week at the Human Amyloid Conference, I got the incredible surprise and honor to receive the Christopher Clark Award for my work on PET imaging in Alzheimer’s and related diseases. It means a lot coming from a field I literally grew up in. 🤓🥰🥳
