Glasgow Memory Clinic is delighted to be attending the Alzheimer’s Association International Pre-conferences and Annual Conference next month to be held in Chicago, Illinois.
The AAIC is the largest international meeting dedicated to advancing dementia science. Every year it unites the world’s leading researchers, next generation investigators, clinicians and the care research community to share discoveries in basic and translational research that will lead to methods of prevention and treatment, and improvements in diagnosis for Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
