Asian Americans are a forgotten group in Alzheimer’s research. @PNGC_UPENN Co-director and @acadstudy leader @lisanwang and his team are working to change that. asamnews.com/2023/09/08/memo…

So excited to be part of this amazing team and effort!! 🥳🥳 The goals of @acadstudy are one of the main reasons I did an academic postdoc at the @UCSFmac. Only took about…a dozen years….not that anyone is counting… – at Amsterdam, The Netherlands
We have received a $40.5 million grant from @NIHAging - expanding our research to 5,000 more participants over the next five years 🎉
This milestone will support us in finding the links between genetics and #Alzheimers in #AsianAmericans and Canadians

Did you know that almost half (46%) of Asian American adults say that they are concerned about developing Alzheimer's disease or dementia? However, Alzheimer's and other dementias are not well understood in these populations.

Excited to have @acadstudy partnering with @NCRAD_ADRD on analyzing plasma biomarkers in an Asian specific cohort. We hope to bid on the initial work and report findings back to our community as we continue to expand ACAD.
