The Dementia Researcher, ISTAART Relay Podcast is back for a third, 5-part series. Where the interviewee becomes the interviewer. With five leading researchers discussing their research, their field, and the work of the Alzheimer’s Association ISTAART Professional Interest Area they represent.

Part Four – Dr Louise Ince interviews Erica Dove representing the Technology and Dementia PIA.

Dr Louise Ince is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Texas at Austin. Louise's work focuses on circadian (daily, ~24 h) rhythms in immune function: why our body’s inflammatory response varies depending upon the time-of-day. She is particularly interested in how the dynamics of neuroimmune responses change with aging and in dementia (she is also an expert in pyrotechnics, and hails from Blackpool in the north of England). Louise is representing the ISTAART Immunity and Neurodegeneration PIA.

Erica Dove is a third year PhD Student, studying at University of Toronto. Her research aims to co-develop an exercise video game designed to reduce falls risk among people with dementia. Inspired to work in dementia through personal experience, when not at work, she can be found obsessing over floral patterns (Yes really). Erica is representing the ISTAART Technology and Dementia PIA.

The Alzheimer’s Association International Society to Advance Alzheimer’s Research and Treatment (ISTAART) convenes the global Alzheimer’s and dementia science community. Members share knowledge, fuel collaboration and advance research to find more effective ways to detect, treat and prevent Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Professional Interest Areas (PIA) are an assembly of ISTAART members with common subspecialties or interests.

There are currently 29 PIAs covering a wide range of interests and fields, from the PIA to Elevate Early Career Researchers to Biofluid Based Biomarkers and everything in between.
