The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is featuring research by UBC’s Teresa Liu-Ambrose and Howard Feldman in their Show Me the Evidence Fall 2014 newsletter. The publication highlights CIHR funded research on dementia with details of how findings by CIHR-supported researchers are being used.
Liu-Ambrose’s research explores the effects of resistance training on cognitive abilities and the progression of dementia. Feldman discusses current research in treating Alzheimer’s disease, including the role of combination therapies, presymptomatic diagnosis and preventive treatment, and pharmacogenomics — customizing drugs to an individual’s genetic profile.
