Imaging and Biomarkers Talk from the Fein Memory and Aging Center 2025 Research Education Event

Stefania Pezzoli, PhD, from the Edward and Pearl Fein Memory and Aging Center, discusses the importance of biomarkers in understanding and diagnosing different types of dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. She explains that dementia is an umbrella term for various brain diseases that can cause similar symptoms, and biomarkers are crucial for distinguishing the underlying pathologies. Dr. Pezzoli covers various biomarkers, including imaging techniques like MRI and PET scans, as well as cerebrospinal fluid and blood tests that can detect specific proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. She also highlights the use of biomarkers in research, disease staging, and monitoring treatment response. She emphasizes the need for diverse research participation to further advance the understanding and diagnosis of these complex brain disorders.
