1st Symposium on Alzheimer's Disease: An Update on Pathology and Therapeutics
Universidade do Porto Faculdade de Engenharia, Portugal
|
| 2021/01/20 - 2021/01/20 | Meeting to come across the main research lines in the participating institutions for epilepsy research (IMM, University of
Lund, Amsterdam Medical Center University of Amsterdam and Sapienza University of Rome). It is also of interest for those
with interests not closely related to epilepsy research since techniques anc concepts approaches used to understand several
aspects of this pathology are common to those used in other research areas, such as neurodegeneration.
