NIH Alzheimer's Disease Research Summit 2018 (Day 2)

The 2018 NIH AD Research Summit will bring together researchers and opinion leaders from academia, industry, federal agencies, private foundations and public advocacy groups working on Alzheimer's and other complex diseases with the goal to evaluate progress towards the AD research implementation milestones and to continue the development of an integrated, multidisciplinary, translational research agenda necessary to address critical knowledge gaps and enable precision medicine for AD. Key to achieving this goal is the identification of: 1) resources/infrastructure and multi-stakeholder partnerships necessary to successfully implement this research agenda and 2) strategies to engage patients, caregivers and citizens as direct partners in research. This key strategic planning event is tied to the implementation of the first research goal of the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's (NAPA), to treat and prevent Alzheimer's disease by 2025. The 2018 Summit builds on the foundation laid by the NIH AD Research Summits held in 2012 and 2015 and the NIH ADRD Research Summits of 2013 and 2016. The meeting program will be organized around 7 major themes/sessions: Novel Mechanistic Insights into the Complex Biology and Heterogeneity of ADEnabling Precision Medicine for AD Translational Tools and Infrastructure to Enable Predictive Drug DevelopmentEmerging Therapeutics Understanding the Impact of the Environment to Advance Disease PreventionAdvances in Disease Monitoring Assessment and C...
