Alzheimer’s Disease: Drugs, Diagnostics, and Controversies
ID :
1423
« back to classes page
Millions are afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease, and nearly everyone has been touched by it in some manner. While Alzheimer’s disease statistics are sobering, research in the field has never been more dynamic. Learn what is known about Alzheimer’s disease, including some serendipitous discoveries that involved roundworms and cannibals. Participate in an exercise to discover how drugs are selected and developed. Learn about improvements in diagnostics and the emergence of new therapies that have brought with them new controversies. Join us to discuss such issues as who should be tested and when, and how to ensure equitable access to therapies.
