Researchers in the field of Alzheimer’s disease gathered at the JGH in May to share ideas and insights at the annual Science Day of the Consortium for the Early Identification of Alzheimer’s Disease – Quebec.

The goals of the event’s participants—including leading investigators from the Lady Davis Institute at the JGH—and of their colleagues in the Consortium are to develop new diagnostic tests for dementia, to detect early biological changes that signal the onset of the disease, and to identify promising means of slowing or stopping the progression of the disease.

The Consortium, launched in 2014, is a network of more than 90 clinicians and scientists across Quebec who are committed to collaborating and advancing the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.
