Principles and Techniques for Improving Preclinical Translation in Alzheimer's Disease

Leveraging the expertise and resources of the Model Organism Development for Evaluation of Late Onset Alzheimer’s Disease (MODEL-AD) Precision Medicine consortium, which includes the University of Pittsburgh, Indiana University, and JAX, this hands-on workshop is an invaluable resource for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty, and researchers seeking to enhance their research capabilities in Alzheimer’s Disease studies.

Join us for the Principles and Techniques for Improving Preclinical to Clinical Translation in Alzheimer’s Disease Research workshop, a unique opportunity designed for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty interested in bridging the gap between preclinical and clinical Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) research. This immersive workshop provides practical skills and insights for the rigorous experimental design and analysis of pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and preclinical efficacy experiments using AD research models.

 

Why Attend?

Enhance your understanding and application of AD research techniques through a combination of interactive lectures, hands-on laboratory training sessions and engaging group discussions. Whether attending in person or virtually, you will have access to in-depth knowledge and the opportunity to engage with the latest research methodologies.

 

In-person Experience:

Receive laboratory training to refine your AD research techniques using translational mouse models, including:

  • Biomethods
  • In vivo dosing and serial blood collections
  • Cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissue collection
  • Perfusion
  • Pre-clinical statistical analyses

This workshop also offers a unique platform to connect with leading experts and peers in the field, foster collaborative research, and advance your career.

 

Virtual Access:

Can’t attend in person? Our virtual format ensures you won’t miss out. Access live-streamed lectures, participate in interactive Q&A sessions, and benefit from recorded content available for six months post-course. Although virtual participants won’t have access to hands-on workshops, poster sessions, or evening events, the comprehensive online experience ensures you stay apprised of the latest advancements in Alzheimer’s Disease research.

 

This course is made possible by funding from the National Institute on Aging.
