Discover Biomarkers – UCL & AAIC Neuroscience Next
20/04/2023 @ 3:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Join us for the afternoon as we explore the latest in biomarker research for Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. In the first half we hear from six early career researchers sharing their work across digital, fluid, blood and imaging biomarkers. This is followed by a Concepts: Debate, which will be livestreamed into the AAIC Neuroscience Next worldwide conference, hosted by Professor Henrik Zetterberg and Dr Maura Malpetti — The Future of Diagnosis, with Dr Yolanda Ohene, Dr Chi Udeh-Momoh and Dr Erin Smith discussing whether the future of diagnosis lies with neuroimaging, blood-based or digital markers. To close the session, learn about the benefits you can gain from joining ISTAART, the Alzheimer’s Association’s International Society to Advance Alzheimer’s Research and Treatment, from ISTAART Ambassador, Lizzie English.
