Venue: Samis Education Center Rainbolt Family Auditorium

Topic: Cerebrovascular Aging

Speakers:

Anna Csiszar, MD, PhD

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify major structural and functional differences between young and aged cerebrovasculature.

2. Recognize the mechanisms how aging of the brains vasculature can contribute to the development of cognitive impairment.

3. Apply new interventional strategies tailored for older populations.

Professional Practice Gap:

Current State: Neither dementia research (primarily Alzheimers Disease) nor stroke research could develop a major new drug target in the last 2 decades. One of the reasons is that the current research endeavors are focused on young preclinical models with intact function and repair capacity.Desired State: New models are needed to better understand the age-dependency and complexity of chronic, age-related diseases.

Speaker Disclosures:

None
