🎉 Congratulations to the Spring 2026 BHI Trainee Travel Award Winners!
We are proud to support these outstanding Rutgers PhD students, MD/PhD students, and postdoctoral fellows in #neuroscience and #mentalhealth research with $500 awards to attend national/international conferences.
This study marks a meaningful advance in inclusive neurodegenerative research, emphasizing equity, accessibility, and the need for contextualized validation. Blood-based AT(N) testing, especially when combined with imaging and cognition, could improve dementia diagnosis in resource-limited settings.
Faculty Perspective: Dr. Sharon Sanz Simon, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at NJMS & core member of BHI, comments on a Nature Aging study validating plasma AT(N) biomarkers in a diverse Latin American cohort. brainhealthinstitute.rutgers.edu/2026/03/06/f...
Join us to hear her insights on the latest discoveries shaping the future of Alzheimer’s disease research.
Registration closes March 10! brainhealthinstitute.rutgers.edu/2026/02/19/h...
