Welcome to the 2nd hybrid symposium of MCI Forum!

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the second hybrid symposium of the “Mild Cognitive Impairment Forum”, 13:00 – 18:00, October 6, 2023, at:

  • 実会場:京都大学医学部 芝蘭会館 稲盛ホール(アクセスはこちら、周辺地図はこちら
  • オンライン:ZOOM

A new antibody drug has been approved in the United States, and is making headlines for shedding light on the treatment of mild dementia.
Last year we held the first MCI Symposium, which provided a general overview of the level of research in Japan. The 2nd MCI Symposium, co-hosted by Department of Neurology, Kyoto University School of Medicine (Professor Ryosuke Takahashi) and our institute, will be held on October 6 at the Inamori Hall, Shirankaikan, Kyoto University School of Medicine and ZOOM.
We invited Professor Weiner of UCSF, Executive Director of ADNI, the world’s largest and most advanced Alzheimer’s disease research group, to organize a symposium in a way that would mark the beginning of antibody medicine.
We hope that all interested parties/individuals will attend the symposium.

新しい抗体医薬が米国で承認され、軽度認知症の治療に光明が見出されたと大きな話題になっております。
私ども研究所は、昨年第一回MCI シンポジウムを開催し、わが国の研究水準を総覧しましたが、このたび京都大学医学部臨床神経学講座(高橋良輔教授)と弊研究所共催で第二回MCIシンポジウムを来たる10月6日、京都大学医学部芝蘭会館(ZOOM同時配信)にて開催します。
世界最大最先端のアルツハイマー病研究グループ米国ADNIの総帥であられるUCSF のWeiner 教授をお招きして、抗体医薬の幕開けにふさわしい形でシンポジウムをオーガナイズしました。
関心ある皆様にご参加いただければ幸甚です。
