Keystone Symposia: Parkinson’s Disease - Genetics, Mechanisms & Therapeutics

Posted on Feb 17, 2014 2:09:00 PM

(Q7) Keystone Symposia: Parkinson’s Disease - Genetics, Mechanisms and Therapeutics

Conference - Keystone, CO, United States

The conference will:
• Delve into themes and mechanisms that appear to underlie Parkinson’s Disease, including protein aggregation, immune responses and mitochondrial dysfunction;
• Cover our current state of knowledge of the global genetic architecture of Parkinson’s, how this is informing cellular and molecular approaches to the etiology of the disease, and the implications of these discoveries in patient diagnosis and development of novel treatments;
• Explore the commonalities between Parkinson’s Disease and Alzheimer’s through joint sessions with the paired meeting on “Alzheimer’s Disease.”

Session Topics:
• Phenotypic and Genotypic Complexity of AD and PD (Joint)
• Genome-Wide Association and PD
• Biomarkers of AD and PD (Joint)
• Mitochondrial Biology and the Pathology of PD
• What Are the Toxic Species of Tau, Aβ and α-Synuclein (Joint)
• Pluripotent Stem Cells and Inherited PD
• Passive Immunization and Other Novel Therapies to Treat AD and PD? (Joint)
• LRRK2 Biology and PD Therapeutics

Organization: Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology
