Details: Leading researchers and healthcare professionals will provide insight on the lastest advances surrounding brain health and aging through a series of keynote addresses, poster presentations and panel discussions. This event is open to all students, researchers, healthcare professionals and the general public. The symposium is brought to you by The University of Toledo's College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
The call for Poster Presentations is now closed: Researchers, healthcare practitioners, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers are invited to submit a poster presentation for this inaugural research symposium. This year's symposium will center on brain health and aging, and presentations related to this area are preferred (e.g., neurodegenerative diseases, clinical care for aging populations, therapeutic treatments of advanced age conditions, etc.).
