We invite you to join us for the MIT Aging Brain Initiative's bi-annual symposium, Cellular & Molecular Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration, on September 22, 2020 from 9:00am - 5:00pm.
The Aging Brain Initiative is an ambitious interdisciplinary effort by MIT focusing on understanding neurodegeneration and efforts to find hallmarks of aging, both in health and disease. The Initiative is broad, made up of scientists in several areas, including systems neuroscience, cell biology, engineering and computational biology, with core investigators from the Departments of Biology, Brain & Cognitive Sciences, Biological Engineering, and Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Labs.
The theme of this symposium is “Cellular & Molecular Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration.”
