WELCOME! The 6th Human Amyloid Imaging meeting will take place in Miami, Florida on January 12-13, 2012. My co-organizers for the meeting will again be Bill Klunk and Chet Mathis (University of Pittsburgh) and Bill Jagust (University of California, Berkeley). At HAI 2012 we will continue to emphasize ample lively discussion of core controversies such as: what does the presence of brain amyloid mean, how should it be measured, how does it change, and what does it portend? Our discussions will again primarily spring from brief presentations by active investigators who will report unpublished, cutting-edge research in human imaging of amyloid-beta and/or other biomarkers that pertain to Alzheimer's-related disease. To assemble at HAI only the most recent, important work, abstract submissions will again be accepted and peer-reviewed less than two months prior to the meeting. We expect again this year to have presenters from approximately 20 research groups from the US, Europe, UK, Japan, South Korea, and Australia. Meeting Programs are accessible from this page (see links in the right column). Research reports are complemented at HAI by Keynote presentations that are intended to cross disciplines and provide perspective from neuropathology, neurochemistry, psychology, neurology, molecular imaging, clinical trials and biomarker research. Previous HAI Keynote speakers include Dave Holtzman, Tom Montine, Randy Buckner, Monique Breteler, Michael Grundman, Eric Siemers, Howard Feldman, Paul Aisen, Brad Hyman, Marsel Mesulam, Dave Bennett, Karen Ashe, Marcus Raichle, and Dennis Selkoe. A new feature in 2011 was a pair of outstanding lectures on basic methods in amyloid PET, by Drs. Mark Mintun and Bob Koeppe. Due to the very favorable response from attendees, we are planning to offer this type of practical presentation again in 2012. I am very pleased to announce that the program for 2012 will include Keynote presentations from Drs. Vahram (Harry) Haroutunian (Mount Sinai School of Medicine) and Claudia Kawas (University of California, Irvine).
