Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY
November 28 - Dec 1, 2012
You are cordially invited to participate in the seventh meeting on Neurodegenerative Diseases, which will be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The meeting will begin with dinner and the first session on the evening of Wednesday, November 28, 2012, and will conclude with lunch on Saturday, December 1.
Rational drug discovery for neurodegenerative diseases has begun to yield compounds and approaches which are entering the clinic. In order for these human studies to yield a maximum of information and success, it is now more crucial than ever for scientists from academia and industry to have forums for the exchange of data and ideas. This meeting will consist of six to seven sessions, each of which will be composed of one talk by the session chair, one talk by an invited speaker, and several additional talks selected from the submitted abstracts. It is expected that half of the session chairs and speakers (invited and from submitted abstracts) will be from each "sector": i.e., half from academia and half from industry. Tentative Topics:
Triplet Repeat Diseases
Tauopathies
Synucleinopathies
Cerebral Amyloidoses
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration
Current Therapies and Prevention
Cell and Gene Transfer
Genetics, Genomics & Patient Selection
Innovative Clinical Study Design Abstracts should contain new and unpublished material. Selection of material for oral and poster presentation will be made by the organizers and individual session chairs. Status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our website as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers. Please bring this notice to the attention of any of your colleagues who may be interested.
