Neurodegeneration: New Biology Guiding the Next Generation of Therapeutic Development

Neurodegeneration: New Biology Guiding the Next Generation of Therapeutic Development is a conference dedicated to neurodegenerative diseases and age-related neurological disorders including effective treatment of such disorders.

Topics

• The molecular, cellular and circuit level etiologies underlying neurodegenerative disease
• Recent expansion and refinement of various omics technologies result the identification of novel genetic risk loci and key biological hubs mediating neurodegeneration
• Disruptions in metabolism, neuroimmune interactions and neurovascular coupling, among other mechanisms, are critical players in degenerative disease
• Genome editing and induced pluripotent stem cell technologies have revolutionized disease modeling in human cells
• Novel concepts provide great hope for effective therapeutic interventions
• Advancements in biomarker identification are allowing both for earlier diagnosis of disease and for more targeted treatments
