Ajantha Abey narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In his guest blog, Ajantha, a PhD student at the University of Oxford, explores the transformative potential of AI in dementia research at the basic science level. He discusses how AI can enhance literature searches, improve conference collaborations, and analyse large datasets, thereby accelerating discoveries and innovations in the field. By utilising AI, researchers can navigate the overwhelming amount of scientific literature, find relevant collaborations, and efficiently analyse complex data, ultimately leading to more targeted and effective research outcomes. Ajantha also addresses the challenges and risks associated with AI, emphasising the need for responsible and ethical implementation to maximise its benefits in dementia research.

Ajantha Abey is a PhD student in the Kavli Institute at University of Oxford. He is interested in the cellular mechanisms of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other diseases of the ageing brain. Previously, having previoulsy explored neuropathology in dogs with dementia and potential stem cell replacement therapies. He now uses induced pluripotent stem cell derived neurons to try and model selective neuronal vulnerability: the phenomenon where some cells die but others remain resilient to neurodegenerative diseases.
