This was recognized 70 years ago by the NHLBI when it set up the Framingham Heart Study, that, as the residents of Framingham proudly proclaim, ‘Changed America’s Heart’. Today, cohorts across the lifespan are coming together in collaborations such as the CHARGE cohorts to understand what genetic, blood, physical, cognitive and imaging changes that occur prior to the onset of dementia and other brain diseases, can teach us about disease biology, prediction, prevention and treatment.
Sudha Seshadri, MD, from Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer’s & Neurodegenerative Diseases, UT Health San Antonio, will talk about the "Contributions of Cohort Studies".
5.00-5.45 pm, followed by an informal Get-together.
