CIHR participates in key international meeting about neurodegeneration research

In November 2012, CIHR Institute of Aging Scientific Director, Dr. Yves Joanette, participated in the European Union Joint Programme – Neurodegenerative Disease Research (JPND) meeting in Washington. He presented Canada’s dementia research plan and experience participating in the JPND as the program’s first non-European Union member. CIHR’s International Collaborative Research Strategy for Alzheimer's Disease, which aims to give Canadians rapid access to the latest approaches to preventing, diagnosing and treating Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, has facilitated the participation of Canadian researchers in key international partnerships.
