Unraveling the Genetic Threads of Alzheimer’s: Insights Into Risk and Prevention

Monday, July 1 | 12:30-1:30 p.m.
Alzheimer’s is a global health problem with nearly 7 million people living with the disease in the U.S. alone. Tremendous gains have been made in the
understanding of the science and basic biology underlying Alzheimer’s and other dementias. These advances are leading to great strides in strategies
for risk reduction, detection, diagnostics and therapeutic interventions. The Alzheimer’s Association is a global leader in research, mobilizing the field to
advance the vision of a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. Join us and special guest speaker, Courtney Kloske, Ph.D., as we take a deep dive into the role of genetics in Alzheimer’s disease.


Topics to be covered:

  1. Landscape of Alzheimer’s and dementia science
  2. Genetics and Alzheimer’s Risk reduction
  3. Where the field is going
