Tomorrow - Join us for an Aging Brain Seminar with Bruce Yankner: "Lithium and the Biology of Aging and Alzheimer's Disease". MIT Building 46, Third Floor, Room 46-3310 April 28th, 4 PM #alzheimers picower.mit.edu/events/aging-b…
#MIT24 Today is MIT's 24-Hour Challenge! This is your opportunity to support the Aging Brain Initiative with *any* amount . Help us make our 300 donor goal to direclty fund ABI research. Thank you! mit24hourchallenge.mightycause.com/story/Aging-Br…
Get ready for the #MIT24 challenge! On March 12th - you can help us fight neurodegenerative disease by donating any amount.
🗓️On March 12, by giving ANY amount to our two #MIT24 challenges, you can help us make discoveries to fight neurodegenerative diseases (bit.ly/24hour-aging-b…) and build a new initiative to turn lab discoveries into treatments (bit.ly/brain-therapies).
🧠 If you are looking to work in #neuroscience #research, check out and bookmark our #careers page right now because we have 10 ‼️ openings listed (and more to come). picower.mit.edu/about/careers
📰This just in! The FINGERPRINT team has now advanced to the finals at the ADPD Conference in Copenhague, Denmark in March 2026.
Excited that our MIT-based team has advanced to the semifinals! Learn about our project, FINGERPRINT: An agentic AI that will link discovery, prevention and therapy by reasoning across multiple biological and clinical data sets. picower.mit.edu/news/mit-based… @MITMechE @AgingBrainMIT
Research article: alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al…
Just published: Small open label extension study suggests that 40Hz sensory stimulation may benefit some #Alzheimers patients for years. Read more here: picower.mit.edu/news/small-stu…

Meet the 10 exceptional semifinalists advancing to the next round of the $1M Alzheimer's Insights AI Prize! These projects demonstrated strong scientific and technical merit, innovative application of agentic AI, and outstanding potential to reshape the future of ADRD research.
Congrats to our Speakers and Keynote for making the ABI Symposium a sweeping success! None of which would be possible w/o the generous support of our donors. Read more about the day's insights on the Neuro-Immune Axis of the Aging Brain #Alzheimers : picower.mit.edu/news/immune-in…
A major MIT investigation provides a single cell transcriptome + epigenome atlas across brain regions & finds that resilience against Alzheimer’s progression depends on preserving epigenomic stability. #Alzheimer #epigenetics Read more here!: picower.mit.edu/news/alzheimer…
Join us August 5th at 4 PM in the Picower Seminar Room (46-3310) for Ramon Sun's (@RCSunlab) ABI Seminar series talk on metabolic drivers of Alzheimer's Disease.
The Aging Brain Initiative is excited to support 5 new research projects at MIT through seed grant funding! Read more here: picower.mit.edu/news/aging-bra…
Tonight, the MIT Club of Northern California is hosting Prof Li-Huei Tsai. Please join for, "Dementia: What we know, and the latest research using non-invasive methods" April 16th, 9 PM (ET), 6 PM (PT) Register here: alumcommunity.mit.edu/topics/23438/e… (proceeds go to the MIT Club)
Meet the neighbors🧠: picower.mit.edu/news/neurons-n… The multifaceted roles for glia in learning, memory and diseases like #Alzheimers
With 179 donors, we are getting closer to our goal of 300 donations for MIT's 24 HR challenge. Please join us to reach our goal today: mit24hourchallenge.mightycause.com/story/Aging-Br… If we meet the challenge, three generous families will donate an additional $30,000 to the ABI.
It's MIT's 24 Challenge time!! Give ANY amount here: mit24hourchallenge.mightycause.com/story/Aging-Br… 🧠💜
The need to fund #Alzheimers and #neurodegeneration research is greater than ever. Give ANY amount today to the @AgingBrainMIT during MIT’s 24-Hour Challenge to help us unlock matching gifts. mit24hourchallenge.mightycause.com/story/Aging-Br…
TOMORROW, March 13! Help us in the fight against #Alzheimers and #neurodegeneration with a donation to @AgingBrainMIT Donate ANY amount tomorrow. Read more about the challenge here: picower.mit.edu/events/support…
Get ready for MIT's 24-Hour Challenge on March 13th! Join in next Thursday to support the Aging Brain Initiative 🧠❣️ mit24hourchallenge.mightycause.com/story/Aging-Br…
You can support scientific research to fight #AlzheimersDisease and neurodegeneration by giving ANY amount to @AgingBrainMIT during MIT’s 24-Hour Challenge March 13. Save the date and the link! mit24hourchallenge.mightycause.com/story/Aging-Br… @MIT_alumni
A decade of studies from labs around the world provide a growing evidence base that increasing the power of the brain’s gamma rhythms could help fight #Alzheimers, and perhaps other, neurological diseases. picower.mit.edu/news/review-ev… #neuroscience @ScienceMIT @mitbrainandcog
