The History of Alzheimer Day

Northwestern Alzheimer Day was established to showcase Alzheimer’s research conducted throughout Northwestern and to bring this information to the community. In years past, the day features a lecture by an outstanding investigator in the field of neurocognitive studies, followed by 45 to 50 poster presentations by Northwestern clinicians and scientists. Lunch provides an opportunity for scientists and interested members of the community to exchange scientific information and research. An afternoon session including a panel presentation invites audience participation for questions about new treatments and state-of-the-art care. Attendees will also have the opportunity to visit resource tables throughout the day to learn more about community-based resources for individuals living with dementia and their family members. While we will meet virtually again this year to share similar information as we have done in the past at our in person events, we are excited to be able to connect virtually with everyone to recognize our patients, research participants, community and scientific discoveries over the past year. 

The Mesulam Center for Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease of Northwestern University Hosted the 26th Annual Alzheimer Day on Thursday, September 24, 2020.
