Thank you to everyone who attended our educative seminar on
the role of s*x and gender in dementia from Professor Gillian Einstein !! We thank Dr. Einstein for giving us the opportunity to explore how both s*x and gender mediate women’s brain health, and how this type of perspective is very important to understand when researching Alzheimer's disease.
Below we have attached the recorded seminar for those who couldn't make it but are interested in learning about Alzheimer's research

Stay tuned for future seminars and events brought to you by SAAUT!
