Early Career Life Scientists’ Symposium in Vascular Brain Health
26/10/2023 @ 10:00 am - 4:30 pm
£25
The high energy demands of the brain mean that having adequate blood supply is crucial for normal brain function. The cerebrovascular disorder, stroke, is the leading cause of adult acquired disability and neurological death and can lead to dementia in 30% of cases. Moreover, cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension, atherosclerosis and atrial fibrillation increase the risk of stroke and dementia and the vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia have been recognised as a research priority in recent years.
This Early Career Life Scientist’s Symposium in Vascular Brain Health, brought to you by a group of UK ECRs, is an opportunity for early career researchers interested in the vasculature of the brain to come together and share research and ideas. The programme will feature keynote talks from Dr Una Clancy (Edinburgh) and Dr Axel Montagne (Edinburgh) along with more technical talks to give you a greater insight into particular research techniques. There will also be plenty of opportunities for networking!
