Molecular Neurodegeneration 2019

This course provides an overview of the molecular basis of neurodegeneration and the development of therapeutic intervention to combat neurodegenerative disorders. The programme will cover several neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Fragile X, Spinocerebellar ataxia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It will highlight experimental techniques used in neurogenetics and stem cell research. The course will provide an introduction to bioinformatic approaches relevant to neurology, including genome-wide association studies.
