Fourteenth Annual Markesbery Symposium was a great success
The fourteenth annual Markesbery Symposium on Aging and Dementia was held Sept. 27- 28, 2024. The symposium, named in honor and memory of the late William R. Markesbery, MD, founding director of the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging and Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, highlights the research being done at the Center as well as current research around the globe.
This year, Lisa Barnes, PhD, of Rush University Alzheimer’s Disease Center and Charles DeCarli, MD, of the University of California-Davis were the keynote speakers. They were joined by our very own Sanders-Brown Center on Aging experts and a panel of volunteers who participate in Sanders-Brown research.
