The Wake Forest Clinical and Translational Science Institute’s Primate Signature Program and the Wake Forest Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center are sponsoring a symposium on the Nonhuman Primate Brain. The practicum comprises of presentations devoted to a separate topic related to the use of monkeys in translational research.

Topics covered

  • Alcoholism
  • Cognition
  • Early life neurodevelopment
  • Neurologic basis of cognitive aging
  • For those attending in person, the Wake Forest CTSI is hosting tours of its primate facilities on request. There is a place on the registration form allowing registrants to indicate their interest in joining a tour.

Who should attend?

The symposium is open to scientists, laboratory personnel, and administrators. Attendance can be in person or via webinar. Register to receive access for the webinar.
