We are pleased to announce the GEMSTONE Project's new dissemination event, a joint meeting with IMMUPARKNET focusing on challenges and developments in Parkinson's and neurodegenerative diseases.
The event will take place on 2 July 2024 at Acibadem Mehmet Ali Aydinlar University (ACU) Kerem Aydinlar Campus, Istanbul, Turkey. The event will be organised with the participation of international researchers from IMMUPARKNET, a Cost Action group.
The symposium will address a range of topics related to research on Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases, with a particular focus on the GEMSTONE Project. The objective is to convene worldwide-known experts and researchers to facilitate collaboration and the exchange of insights on cutting-edge research.
A key objective of the GEMSTONE Project is to identify the origin of alpha-synuclein, a crucial protein in Parkinson's disease, through the development of a double transgenic model.
