Davis of the University of Miami Brain Endowment Bank as the keynote speaker presenting Algal Toxins and Alzheimer’s Disease: A Brain Bank Prospective. This is a unique opportunity to gain insights from a leading expert on the relationship between toxins in our environment and their potential roles in neurodegenerative diseases.

Harmful algal blooms are increasing in frequency and scope in Florida. These blooms can produce toxins linked to neurodegeneration. At the same time, South Florida has the highest prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease in the United States. Join Calusa Waterkeeper and Dr. Davis as they explore current research centered on how exposure to algal toxins can contribute to the onset of dementia. In addition, the discussion will examine approaches to protect against exposure and neurotoxicity.

Dr. Davis has devoted his scientific career to exploring the relationship between toxins in our environment and their potential roles in causing neurodegenerative disease. His current research focuses on the connections between the cyanobacterial neurotoxin BMAA, methylmercury and nanoplastics with disease such as Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinson disease.

Calusa Waterkeeper Joe Cavanaugh will also be displaying our proprietary ADAM kits, designed by our team to research and better understand any presence of airborne toxins from harmful algal blooms in Southwest Florida.
