Temerty-Tanz-TDRA Inaugural Workshop

'Discovering the links between dementia & depression'

Part of the Temerty-Tanz-TDRA Initiative, this workshop will provide a forum for learning, discussion, and innovation. We look forward to hearing from Research Fellows and Seed Funding Awardees who have been funded by the initiative to conduct research related to the intersection of depression and dementia. Learn about how these conditions interact, and hear about the investigation of contributing factors such as inflammatory responses, cerebrovascular diseases, heart rate variability, and type two diabetes. The workshop will be hosted exclusively in-person; however, session recordings will be made available. 

See AGENDA for full program details. Breakfast, lunch, and light refreshments to be provided.
