2025 Progress in neurodegeneration Research Symposium

About

The 2025 Progress in Neurodegeneration Research Symposium aims to elevate North Carolina’s understanding of brain diseases, encouraging collaboration of leading scholars in Alzheimer’s Diseases, Parkinson’s Disease, and other neurodegenerative diseases.

The DCNN and ADRC are committed to advancing research in these fields with the expectation that such advances will offer opportunities for leveraging knowledge into opportunities for therapy development.
