Last September 21 was World Alzheimer's Day, an event created by the World Health Organization (WHO) and sponsored by Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI) in 1994. It is an event in which all entities in the world linked with this condition share with the society the main concerns and needs of the millions of affected people. Alzheimer's disease is the most common dementia and it represents between 60 and 70% of cases. There are more than 900,000 diagnosed people in Spain, and 100,000 of them live in Catalonia.

 

That is the reason why in September 19, in Aula Magna at URV School of Medicine (9:30-13:40) an event took place to address different perspectives of the disease. Different research groups of the URV, including several members of TecnATox, currently participate actively in projects that aim to have a greater understanding about the molecular mechanisms of dementia. In addition, various invited researchers addressed these issues.
