Thematic Programs

Bioinformatics & Preventive Medicine: The use of advanced cutting-edge Bioinformatics & Preventive Medicine for Alzheimer’s Disease


Information

At this conference, we will share and discuss our most recent advances on the molecular basis of aging from the viewpoint of the genome and epigenome. In addition, we will also focus on the pathologies and prevention of aging-related diseases, especially Alzheimer’s diseases.
