About this Event
Fondazione Prada | Preserving the Brain: A Call to Action
Scientific Conference: Prevention on Neurodegenerative Diseases
October 16–17, 2024 | Milan, Italy | + Live Streaming
This conference is held as part of the larger Human Brains initiative organized by Fondazione Prada, and in collaboration with fifteen research institutes worldwide (including UCSF). This current phase entitled “Preserving the Brain: A Call to Action” aims to focus on the importance of prevention and early treatment of widespread and still incurable diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and Multiple Sclerosis.
The scientific conference is aimed at researchers, students, and institutional figures in the medical and healthcare sectors. Each day is divided into four thematic sessions, each one featuring three lectures and an open discussion between the scientists and researchers. Each session addresses a specific topic, such as epidemiology, pollution, diet, sleep, protective factors, genes and other environmental factors, brain plasticity, and secondary prevention. The first day concludes with a keynote on the role of artificial intelligence in preventing neurodegenerative diseases. The second day is completed by two additional keynotes dedicated to the impact of climate change on these diseases and the role of biomolecular markers in risk stratification. A roundtable with representatives from patient organizations and associations, health authorities and academics, pharmaceutical companies, and service providers addresses priorities, actions, and future challenges in prevention of neurodegenerative diseases.
The conference takes place at Fondazione Prada’s Cinema Godard in Milan and will be live streamed on this website.
