ABOUT US

XVI International Symposium: Advances in Alzheimer’s Disease + XV CIBERNED Scientific Forum

about

After a year in which our Forum was celebrated online due to the pandemic situation, this year will be held in a blended format in Madrid, between September 21st and 22nd, coinciding with World Alzheimer's Day once more. As on previous occasions, the organizers: the Network Center for Biomedical Research in Neurodegenerative Diseases (CIBERNED), altogether with the Reina Sofía Foundation and the Foundation Center for Research on Neurological Diseases (CIEN), join the XVI International Symposium "Advances in Alzheimer's Disease" and the XV Scientific Forum.

These meetings intend to exchange information on the advances in the fight against neurodegenerative disorders, especially Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, looking forward to advancing in the search for global solutions and responses to these diseases, that have such an impact on the people who suffer them and their families and, in addition, making this advances known to society in an up-to-date and reliable way.

Thus, the Symposium offers a forum for the discussion of a series of areas of interest related to the basic, clinical and translational aspects of research on neurological diseases, which provides opportunities for researchers to discuss and establish new lines of study. In addition, it creates opportunities to meet and establish contacts with colleagues in that field, to share experiences and learn from each other, establishing collaborative ties, for the implementation of more and better cooperative research programs.

On this occasion, we will have the participation of more than 20 top-level scholars of our country, who lead well-known research groups in neurological diseases, as well as new values, like Germán Belenguer and Ignacio Illán, winners, respectively, of the young researcher and young clinical researcher awards of this year who will present their findings.
