First day at #AAIC25 – great to be here and to present a poster on identifying distinct risk profiles for dementia. The goal: to better understand heterogeneity in dementia risk and lay the groundwork for more targeted prevention strategies in the future.

Had the chance to join the SPIN-D & represent the INTERDEM Academy. Grateful for insights on intersectionality, stigma & lived experience. Excited about future collaboration – and thanks to the Hans und Ilse Breuer foundation for supporting this trip! #dementia #PPIE @spindnetworkplus.bsky.social
