NIA-AA Symposium: Enabling Precision Medicine for Alzheimer’s Disease Through Open Science

The NIA-AA Symposium: Enabling Precision Medicine for Alzheimer's Disease for Alzheimer's Disease Through Open Science features an array of NIA-supported translational dementia research programs that employ precision medicine principles and open-science practices to

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