Sue Gardon, Stars, Art of Alzheimer's
The ADRC seminar series occurs on second Mondays, noon - 1 pm. This replaces the Towards Precision Medicine series hosted during the past funding cycle.
The topic of the seminar series will be a wide range of areas of relevance to Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD), biological heterogeneity, and other themes of the ADRC. The presenters will be a mix of UW, regional, and external (national and international) guests and will also have an eye towards enhancing collaborations. For more information on the ADRC seminar series, please contact Genevieve Wanucha (gwanucha@uw.edu) or Annika Noreen (annikn@uw.edu) or visit the ADRC Talks & Events calendar.
