2nd Annual International Research Conference on Neurodegenerative Diseases 2022 (IRCND 2022)

IRCND 2022 SUMMARY

The Global Association for the Study of Neurodegenerative Diseases (GASND) is hosting its 2nd Annual International Research Conference on Neurodegenerative Diseases (IRCND 2022) in Omaha, Nebraska, on July 17-20, 2022 at the Scott Conference Center. IRCND 2022 is a hybrid in-person/virtual event to facilitate broad support for researchers in the international field of neurodegenerative disease to meet and exchange ideas. The GASND is offering discounted rates for conference registration and abstract submission if you join the Association.

The event is chaired by Dr. Xinglong Wang, the endowed Harriet and Lazier Singer Professor of Experimental Neuroscience in the Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience at UNMC.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the loss of function and eventual death of nerve cells in the brain or peripheral nervous system. Millions of people suffer from neurodegenerative diseases which cause overwhelmed health care support and heavy financial burden for their families and society. Currently, the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases is not fully understood. There is no curative therapy.

The purpose of IRCND 2022 is to highlight important findings and achievements in the field and to promote exchange of information across neurodegenerative diseases. The program committee has invited well-known keynote speakers to introduce exciting presentations to our participants. The program committee has planned several themes for the conference and welcomes all participants to submit abstracts including, but not limited to, the thematic areas below. We are looking forward to learning about exciting recent findings in your laboratory!

Program Themes:
1. Microglial Biology & Neuroinflammatory Processes
2. Novel Diagnostic & Therapeutic Tools Against Neurodegeneration; Biomarkers
3. Novel In Vitro and In Vivo Models of Neurodegeneration
4. Phase Separation, Circular RNA, Cytoplasmic DNA, and Exosomes
5. Cellular Senescence & Neurobiology of Aging; Molecular Predictors of Successful Aging

AWARDS

Young Investigator Awards are available for postdoctoral fellows and students based on scientific merit, and the quality of their abstract and presentation, as assessed by the IRCND awards committee. Applications for this award must be made online at the time of abstract submission in the IRCND conference. Applicants submitting more than one abstract for presentation during the conference must specify which one they wish to have considered for an award. Only one abstract from each applicant is eligible for award consideration. Award recipients will present their work during the IRCND meeting with a 10-minute talk. Award winners will be recognized in the conference program with an award certificate.

Research & Education Lifetime Achievement Award (R&E award). Our aim is to appreciate the senior mentors in neurodegeneration field for their contribution as a great mentor and as a well-known leader in scientific research to advance our understanding of neurodegeneration and to develop new treatment. The GASND and IRCND aim to promote and accelerate the careers of young investigators. We thank the senior mentors for their lifetime effort in training and mentoring. Everyone in the GASND has received various advice and guidance from one’s mentors or professors. The great spirit and friendship between mentors and trainees not only push forward the scientific discovery but also highlight the power of family-like united strength in our scientific community. The Conference Chair and Organizing Committee will select the awardee from GASND community.
