Krembil Brain Institute at UHN and the Alzheimer Society of Canada invite members of the community to attend this free and public event.
Jay Ingram, science broadcaster and author of ‘The End of Memory,’ will speak about the questions that he is asked about Alzheimer’s and dementia, most often. After his keynote, Jay will moderate a panel of experts in the field, including:
· Dr. Donald Weaver, Co-Director of the Krembil Brain Institute at UHN, who is also a neurologist and a medicinal chemist working on an Alzheimer’s drug
· Dr. Saskia Sivananthan, Chief Research & KTE Officer, Alzheimer's Society of Canada, who has studied the societal and global impact of Alzheimer’s and dementia
· Dr. Andrea Iaboni, a Geriatric Psychiatrist and clinician-scientist at KITE Research Institute at UHN, as well as Medical Lead of the Specialized Dementia Unit.
A Q&A will follow the panel discussion, during which our experts will address questions submitted in advance from people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, as well as their caregivers and others in the community with an interest in this topic.
With this unique virtual event, we hope to engage, educate and inspire our community about the great work being done through advocacy efforts, the development of new technology and techniques to help improve quality of life for those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, and with advances in research. Where there is science, there is hope.
