Cutting-edge Drug Discovery Conference
|
![](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/web/20090827100406im_/http://www.alzforum.org/images/spacer.gif) |
Don't miss the 10th International Conference on Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery to be held 14-15 September 2009 in Jersey City (across from NYC, on the Hudson). This unique conference brings together academic and industry scientists to accelerate the development of novel drug discovery programs for Alzheimer disease and related dementias. The two-day program includes sessions on Neuroprotection and Prevention (chair, Frank Longo), Anti-Amyloid and Protein Misfolding (chair, Michael Wolfe), Anti-tangles and Frontotemporal Dementia (chair, Jeff Kuret), and Alternative Strategies: New Targets for Alzheimer's Disease Therapy (chair, Diana Shineman). Virginia Lee will deliver a plenary talk on TDP-43 as a New Target for Neurodegenerative Disease. For any questions on registration or exhibits, please contact the Conference Secretariat at +1.773.784.8134 or meetings@worldeventsforum.com. |
