We are harnessing the collective genius of science and breaking free of established dogma to extend the healthy lifespan of the human brain — building the foundations for a future in which the word “dementia” is a bygone memory. As part of its mission to stimulate bold new approaches to tackling the drivers of dementia, the Knight Initiative is bringing together experts in aging and dementia as well as new collaborators and ideas from outside the traditional neurodegeneration field through grant calls, seminars and symposia. 

Symposium: Parkinson's Disease — January 25, 2024

Save the date for our upcoming symposium on Parkinson's Disease on Thursday, January 25, 2024 from 12:30pm – 6:30pm PST. Registration opening soon!
