The SyDAD network arranged the workshop “Advanced Methodology in Preclinical Alzheimer Research” at the Bordeaux School of Neuroscience, running from 21 January to 2 February 2019.
SyDAD Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) are approaching the end of their PhD studies and served as instructors at the workshop, thereby spreading their expertise to a wider network of students. 22 external PhD students and post-docs from world-wide participated in the course and performed two mini-projects supervised by the ESRs. In addition, several renowned key-note lecturers were involved, including Bart de Strooper, John Hardy, Michael Heneka and SyDAD director Bengt Winblad. SyDAD (Synaptic Dysfunction in Alzheimer's Disease) is a European Training Network, sponsored by Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions.
