Towards Hope: New Frontiers in Neurodegenerative Disease Research
Each year, millions of people around the world are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neurodegenerative diseases. While no cures and few treatments for these devastating conditions currently exist, researchers continue to make strides towards unlocking the secrets to managing — or even preventing — these diseases in the future.
In this next offering in our popular Temerty Medicine Talks series, join the Globe and Mail’s André Picard in conversation with leading U of T scientists and clinicians as they discuss remarkable advances in our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases, as well as promising research underway today.
