AD/PD 2025 kicks off with prominent participation of CIEN researchers

The International Congress on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease (AD/PD 2025), a key event in the field of neurodegenerative diseases, is taking place in Vienna, Austria from 1-5 April 2025. The conference series, which attracts medical and scientific professionals from around the world, focuses on advances in understanding the mechanisms of these diseases and improving their treatments. AD/PD 2025 is notable for its focus on disease mechanisms, prevention and therapy, addressing the similarities and differences between the various neurodegenerative disorders.

The Centre for Research on Neurological Diseases (CIEN) will have a prominent participation in this edition with the presentation of several oral and written communications (posters).
