Prediction And Prevention In Neurodegenerative Diseases
In this podcast we talk we talk to three panellists, to reflect on what they discovered at the \u2018Prediction and Prevention in Neurodegenerative Disease Symposium\u2019 held on the 29th November and organised by the Preventative Neurology Unit (PNU) at Queen Mary University London.\n\nRecorded on location from QMU - Dr Megan O\u2019Hare is join by PhD students Phazha Bothongo and Isabelle Foote from Queen Mary University and Dr Harri Sivasathiaseelan from University College London.\n\nThe Symposium focused on the fascinating issues around early detection and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases, and included a star studded lined-up of speakers, including Anette Schrag, Rimona Weil and Jonathan Schott from UCL. Dennis Chan, Carol Brayne and Richard Milne from the University of Cambridge and others from QMUL, Oxford and Maastricht.\n\nThe PNU is a new group set up as part of the School of Medicine & Dentistry at Queen Mary University, London. Funded by Bart's Charity to try to prevent diseases that affect the nervous system, like dementia, Parkinson\u2019s disease and multiple sclerosis. Researching people's risk of getting these diseases, and how we can spot them before there are any obvious signs. This will help us to come up with ways to try to slow down or even stop the progress of these conditions, and keep people's brains healthy for longer. \n\nYou can find out more about our panellists, and their work on our website www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk.
