Annual Symposium:
Genetic Frontiers of Neurologic Disease

8:00 am - 5:30 pm
Joseph B. Martin Conference Center at
Harvard Medical School
77 Avenue Louis Pasteur
Boston, MA 02115
Event Description:
The Harvard NeuroDiscovery Center is dedicated to understanding the mechanisms behind neurodegenerative diseases and using that understanding to explore clinically relevant applications. Our annual symposium highlights this translational theme and gives speakers an opportunity to present recent developments and to discuss their implications.
This symposium will help the translational neuroscience research community better understand the very rapidly evolving role of genetics in their field.
The symposium—typically an oversubscribed and lively event—draws attendees from the major Boston research and teaching hospitals, the biotech and pharma industry, Harvard, Boston University, MIT, Tufts, Northeastern and other local research institutions.
