Fundació ACE presented two posters at the AICC 2019

As every year, the Fundació ACE experts have participated at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference 2019 (AAIC), held in July 14-18 in Los Angeles.

During the week, our team of researchers had the opportunity to present two posters with the latest advances of the GRA@CE and MOPEAD projects, on genetics and early detection of Alzheimer's, respectively.

The AICC, organized by the prestigious Alzheimer's Association, is one of the leading annual conferences at an international level within the Alzheimer's and dementia sector.

Experts from more than 70 countries of the world meet each year at the AAIC. The congress serves as a platform to expose the main progresses in the research of Alzheimer's and other types of dementia.
