4th Annual NIA-AA Symposium: Enabling Precision Medicine for AD Through Open Science

October 27 – 28, 2021
10:00am – 3:00pm EDT

Purpose and Background

This live, virtual symposium will feature an array of NIA-supported translational research programs that employ precision medicine principles and open-science practices to:

  1. Understand the complex and heterogeneous etiology of Alzheimer’s
  2. Identify new disease-relevant targets and biomarkers
  3. Develop the next generation animal models for late onset AD and,
  4. Advance novel targets into drug discovery by developing target enabling research tools.

The symposium program will feature scientific advances and translational infrastructure resources developed by the: Accelerating Medicines Partnership® for Alzheimer’s Disease (AMP AD), the Alzheimer’s Gut Microbiome Project (AGMP), MODEL- AD Consortium, TREAT- AD Centers, the Alzheimer’s Biomarkers Consortium - Down Syndrome (ABC-DS) and other consortia.

Audience

While all are welcome, this symposium is designed for academic, biotech and pharmaceutical industry researchers with an interest in target and biomarker discovery, preclinical and clinical drug development. Other groups who may be interested include computational biologists, data scientists, and open science advocates.
