Place: The auditorium in Armauer Hansens Hus
When: August 27, 2025, at 11:30 - 13:00 (lunch 11:30 - 12:00).
Short abstract: Neurodegenerative dementias are a heterogeneous group of diseases with significant overlap. Improved diagnosis is pivotal in order to better understand and treat dementia. Enhancement of NAD+ levels, e.g., through nicotinamide riboside (NR) replacement, is a promising novel treatment in neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer´s disease, and a new trial investigating NR is now starting.
NEUROSYSM920
Neuro-SysMed's seminar series is open to all and is, in addition, part of a 3 ECTS course in Neuro-SysMed's Research School, with subject code NEUROSYSM920.
The objectives of the seminars at the Neuro-SysMed Research School for Translational Neuroscience are to provide knowledge into the research field of the disciplines involved in Neuro-SysMed, and the treatment strategies for patients with MS, PD, ALS, and dementia.
The course entails monthly participation in the seminar series, a two-day symposium, and the submission of two written reports. Students are also required to present their own research or a self-chosen scientific topic at the symposium. Read more about the course code on the student webpages.
