The AAIC brings together distinguished basic scientists, clinical researchers, early career investigators, clinicians and the care research community at the largest and most influential international conference on dementia science. They share theories and breakthroughs while exploring opportunities to accelerate work and elevate careers.
Main plenary talks from the day included Edward B. Lee presenting 'Neuropathology In A Multidisciplinary Age', Timothy Miller on 'Antisense Oligonucleotide Therapeutics For Neurodegenerative Diseases', Henne Holstege delivering a talk titled 'From Longevity To Vulnerability: Genomic Pathways Underlying Cognitive Health In Centenarians And Neurodegenerative Disease'.
