Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common age-dependent neurodegenerative disease, affecting nearly 1 in 9 people over 65 in the world. While a great progress in translational and discovery research is excitingly being made, there still lack effective therapies for AD and related neurodegenerative diseases. This planned conference intends to bring leading scientists and clinicians from all over the world to present their unpublished observations or findings to attendees and to share their vision or prospects on translational or discovery research. We expect that some presenters, either by talks or posters, will discuss our current state of knowledge in disease mechanisms, novel targets, new genetic association or pathways, approaches for identifying new therapeutic targets, and biomarkers for diagnosis or treatment readouts. We will also invite speakers who are conducting later stages of drug discoveries to share clinical trial results.
Key Sessions will include:
• The latest on AD genetics
• Peripheral and central immune response
• Multiomic dissection of AD
• Vulnerability and resilience
• Lipid and metabolic abnormalities in AD pathogenesis
• Novel therapeutic targets
• New Biomarkers
• AI or machine learning-based drug discovery
• Insights from molecular structures
• Brain imaging of AD brains
The significance of having this conference is to provide a unique forum for the research community focusing on translational studies geared towards therapies in AD and related neurodegenerative diseases to come together to discuss the latest advances and the future challenges in the field.
