>> Although Prion diseases are not front page news anymore, they continue to be one of the most beautiful biological problems confronting us. In an era of rapid developments and innovations in neurodegeneration, there is an ever increasing need to regularly update our knowledge, especially to guide our practice on evidence-based practices.
>> Timely issues in these topics will be discussed by renowned experts in plenary sessions, whereas mini-symposia will be held in parallel. There will be a unique opportunity for young investigators to present their research in oral and poster presentations and prizes will be awarded for the best posters.
>> Topics include:
- Protein Misfolding & Natural and Experimental Strains
- Transmission & Pathogenesis
- Epidimiology & Risk Assessment
- Basic Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration & Pathology
- Functions and Cell Biology of PrP
- Genetics & Diagnostics, Therapeutics and Decontamination
- Other Neurodegenerative Proteinopathies
