Program Overview

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the loss of function and eventual death of nerve cells in the brain or peripheral nervous system. Millions of people suffer from neurodegenerative diseases which cause overwhelmed health care support and heavy financial burden for their families and society. Currently, the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases is not fully understood. There is no curative therapy.

The purpose of IRCND 2022 is to highlight important findings and achievements in the field and to promote exchange of information across neurodegenerative diseases. The program committee has invited well-known keynote speakers to introduce exciting presentations to our participants. The program committee has planned several themes for the conference and welcomes all participants to submit abstracts including, but not limited to, the thematic areas below. We are looking forward to learning about exciting recent findings in your laboratory!

Program Themes:
1. Microglial Biology & Neuroinflammatory Processes
2. Novel Diagnostic & Therapeutic Tools Against Neurodegeneration; Biomarkers
3. Novel In Vitro and In Vivo Models of Neurodegeneration
4. Phase Separation, Circular RNA, Cytoplasmic DNA and Exosomes
5. Cellular Senescence & Neurobiology of Aging; Molecular Predictors of Successful Aging

Award

Young Investigator Awards are available for postdoctoral fellows and students based on scientific merit, and the quality of their abstract and presentation, as assessed by the IRCND awards committee. Applications for this award must be made online at the time of abstract submission in the IRCND conference. Applicants submitting more than one abstract for presentation during the conference, must specify which one they wish to have considered for an award. Only one abstract from each applicant is eligible for award consideration. Award-recipients will present their work during the IRCND meeting with a 10 minute talk. Award winners will be recognized in the conference program with the award certificate.

Research & Education Lifetime Achievement Award (R&E award). Our aim is to appreciate the senior mentors in neurodegeneration field for their contribution as a great mentor and as a well-known leader in scientific research to advance our understanding of neurodegeneration and to develop new treatment. The GASND and IRCND aim to promote and faster the young investigators. We thank the senior mentors for their lifetime effort on training and mentoring. Everyone in the GASND has received various advice and guidance from one’s mentors or professors. The great sprite and friendship between mentors and trainee not only push forward the scientific discovery but also highlight the power of family-like united strength in our scientific community. The Conference Chair and Organizing Committe will select the awardee from GASND community.
