DAWN at CWRU

Oops, wrong week! 😅 I came out to see our team helping put on a Mind Challenge at City of Wickliffe Community Center and discovered that the event was last week. Doh! But I got to see this amazing senior center and what awesome programming they offer for brain and body health! Meditation! Wii bowling! Zumba-ball?! And they have our fliers there alongside other resources. Check out this community!🙂

at 11:30 this morning in Gates Mills, learn about Community Partnership on Aging programming and services! 🤩 Call Jean or Robin for reservations 440-423-4405

Look who's talking on May 20 at the Gates Mills Community House!

Carlos from our DAWN team was at East View United Church of Christ leading a Lunch & Learn on Alzheimer's with the church family. Thank s to East View for sharing photos! 🤩They even shared a photo of our genetics study participation flier! Our team is looking for participants for two Alzheimer studies - ancestry (DAWN) and families.

DAWN is so excited for our Investigator, Dr. Haines, for this next step in our Alzheimer genetic research! It's more important than ever that people of all ancestries - not just those of European descent - are represented in the genome databases.

It's great seeing the fruit of collaboration between our DAWN partners, the African Dementia Consortium and DAWN Alzheimer's Research at University of Miami! The African Dementia Consortium (AfDC) is our international partner in the DAWN genetics of Alzheimer disease study. The consortium brings together a network of universities and research centers across Nigeria, Ghana, Benin Republic, Mozambique, Uganda, Kenya, Cameroon, and Tanzania.

This work is vital to well-being!

See you April 25th? Our DAWN team will be at Everlasting Baptist Church leading an Intro to Will and Estate Planning session at 11 am!

Wow! Congratulations to Case Western Reserve University's Jonathan Haines, our lead Investigator on the DAWN project! For next steps beyond DAWN, Dr. Haines has been awarded a $6.2M grant to identify genetically driven therapeutic targets for Alzheimer Disease! The grant project will leverage the massive whole genome sequencing data from the increasingly multi-ancestry Alzheimer Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP) and Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Consortium (ADGC) datasets for analysis to reduce the list of 1,800 potential drug targets. The five year study will culminate in a set of drug targets with the greatest potential for the prevention, slowing, or cure of Alzheimer disease.

Awesome work by our colleagues DAWN Alzheimer's Research!
