We welcome your attendance at this upcoming event! Hosted by the UC San Diego Shiley-Marcos Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center and the San Diego Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (AD-RCMAR), this conference will highlight the cutting-edge academic and scientific environment across the UC San Diego campus, and the strong relationships with major scientific institutes and broad range of medical and community partners in San Diego County working to advance knowledge and clinical practice in this field of study.

This event is designed to provide clinicians and community practitioners with current, evidence-based data that can be translated into clinical practice to optimize brain health, maximize therapeutic goals, and improve outcomes for individuals affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD).

  • Topics to be Covered:
  • Alzheimer’s Disease Treatment and Prevention Updates
  • LATE (Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy)
  • Weight-Loss Drugs and Cognition
  • Women’s Brain Health, including Hormone Replacement Therapy
  • Sleep
  • Biomarkers: Returning Results to Patients & Psychosocial Implications
  • Differential Diagnosis Across Neurodegenerative Diseases

and More….

In addition to the live portion of this conference, which will include in-person lectures and a panel discussion, additional asynchronous-recorded video content will be made available to attendees allowing participants to engage with expert perspectives on emerging research and its application to clinical practice.  

We look forward to having you join us to learn more about the local landscape of this ever-evolving area of research and care.
