Markesbery Symposium on Aging and Dementia

Join the UK Sanders-Brown Center on Aging for the 16th Annual Markesbery Symposium on Aging and Dementia. Clinicians and researchers from Boston University and the UK Sanders-Brown Center on Aging will come together to share current findings, trends, and updates on dementia, particularly as they relate to Alzheimer’s disease and healthy brain aging. The Markesbery Symposium is held annually in memory of the late William R. Markesbery, M.D., founding director of the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. Dr. Markesbery’s legacy of groundbreaking research has formed the bedrock for our quest to understand and treat Alzheimer’s disease and to improve the quality of life of older adults. This year's keynote speaker will be Rhoda Au, Ph.D., Professor of Anatomy & Neurobiology, Neurology, Medicine and Epidemiology at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and School of Public Health. “Precision AD: Where We Are and Where We Could Be” Levera
