REMEMBERING MARIA HATEM

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the non-profit Alzout organization, dedicated to finding a cure for Alzheimer’s and related diseases. Contributions can be made here at ALZOUT, ensuring that Maria’s memory continues to make a positive impact on the lives of others.

CYCLEBAR CHARITY RIDE

Please join AlzOut for a charity ride to raise funds for Alzheimer’s research. Tackle your 2020 fitness resolutions and have fun with us for a great cause.

“I would like to sincerely thank AlzOut for donating to my lab to help purchase equipment, namely a ‘MESO QuickPlex SQ 120’, to measure biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease steals the minds of millions and robs time from families with their loved ones. This equipment will aid greatly in helping us determine root causes of Alzheimer’s disease and ways to prevent AD in the future.”

Amy R. Nelson, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Physiology and Cell Biology, University of South Alabama College of Medicine

“I would like to give a special acknowledgement to Johnny Weir for selflessly raising funds for AlzOut. I was a competitive figure skater from childhood through my late teens, so I am honored and excited to think that he has made an indirect contribution to our Alzheimer’s research!”

Amy R. Nelson, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Physiology and Cell Biology, University of South Alabama College of Medicine

“As an early career investigator in the field of Exercise Physiology, I am incredibly thankful for the financial support from AlzOut to purchase a state-of-the-art multiplex. It is truly my belief that exercise is medicine and that physical activity can play a significant role in delaying, if not preventing, the onset of numerous diseases including Alzheimer’s and related dementias. Adding the multiplex instrument to our tool kit has allowed us to ask more in-depth questions as well as to seek mechanistic links between exercise and age-related cognitive decline. With these newly garnered abilities, I am most excited to contribute to the currently known findings pertaining to exercise and brain health, especially in populations that have been historically excluded from prominent biomedical research trials. Therefore, the contribution of AlzOut has not only accentuated our research capabilities, but ultimately, they have extended our reach into our communities, which will undoubtedly translate into a lasting impact.”

Josh Keller, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Health, Kinesiology and Sport, University of South Alabama

“Thank you, AlzOut, for helping to fund our lab’s purchase of a multiplex instrument! This equipment will allow us to investigate biomarker changes in Alzheimer’s disease biofluids such as plasma and cerebrospinal fluid.”

Allison J. Bauman, Lab Manager, Nelson lab, University of South Alabama College of Medicine

“The Nelson lab is so grateful for AlzOut’s generous donation, which equipped the lab with a plate reader necessary to measure key biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease. Your donation will ultimately support cutting-edge efforts to understand how Alzheimer’s disease develops and how to more effectively treat the causes and symptoms of this widespread disease affecting more than 6 million Americans. Furthermore, this plate reader will allow us to collaborate on projects outside of our lab, increasing awareness of our research and Alzheimer’s in the scientific community. Without support like yours, further understanding Alzheimer’s disease would not be possible, so we would like to thank you again for your support of our research that could benefit millions.”

Hanna Bobinger, Medical Student, Nelson Lab, University of South Alabama College of Medicine

“On behalf of the entire Nelson Lab, we want to sincerely thank AlzOut for their donation to our lab. We are primarily focused on determining causes of Alzheimer’s disease. With the funding generously provided by AlzOut, we purchased a MESO QuickPlex SQ 120. This multiplex plate reader will allow us to measure proteins such as amyloid-beta and tau as well as proinflammatory cytokines and other molecules associated with Alzheimer’s disease. We are incredibly thankful for AlzOut’s financial support for this important work.”

Ryleigh Randall, Medical Student, Nelson Lab, University of South Alabama College of Medicine

“We’re extremely thankful to AlzOut for their donation to the Nelson Lab! With the donation, we purchased a MESO QuickPlex SQ 120. This device will let us measure amyloid-beta, tau, proinflammatory cytokines, and other biomarkers linked to Alzheimer’s disease, providing data necessary to determine if an association between these biomarkers and infections exists.”
