| Synopsis | This conference will focus on recent advances in neurodegenerative diseases, ranging from basic science to clinical and pharmaceutical developments, and will highlight current understanding of underlying mechanisms, new research directions, and therapeutic strategies. The conference will span Alzheimer's and other dementias twenty years since formulation of the amyloid cascade hypothesis, Parkinson's disease, prion diseases, as well as interactions and common mechanisms among neurodegenerative diseases. New concepts in any aspect of neurodegeneration/regeneration are, however, welcomed. Featured will be plenary lectures from leading investigators, oral presentations from selected abstracts, and poster sessions covering each of the topics. Participation of younger scientists is particularly encouraged and there will be ample opportunity for informal discussions to develop new collaborations in an attractive environment on the Riviera Maya. We are honoured to be able to offer the JBC/Herbert Tabor Award at this conference. The awardee is selected on the basis of their submitted abstracts by a committee composed of the conference organizers and a JBC associate editor. The winner will be given the opportunity to present their work in a short oral presentation at the meeting. Students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty members who have not yet received tenure are eligible. The award includes a plaque and a $1,500 prize.
