AD@UW

AD@UW is a monthly 90-minute lunch-time meeting held 12:00 - 1:30pm on 4th Fridays that is intended to provide a basic understanding of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias as well as research resources available through the UW ADRC.

 FInd AD@UW recorded presentations on the ADRC Research Talks Video Channel

Each month, AD@UW will be focused on a different ADRD topic, and will include training, Q&A, and discussion led by UW ADRC faculty guides. Content will feature selected videos from the online Dementia for Scientists Curriculum published by the Michigan Alzheimer's Disease Center. UW Faculty guides will also outline and discuss resources available at the UW ADRC, including biological samples, imaging and clinical data, and faculty expertise.

All meetings this year will be held remotely via Zoom. Please see below for meeting links and talk recordings.
