Welcome
Welcome!
The European Prevention of Alzheimer's Dementia (EPAD) project kicked-off in Paris a little over a year ago, and what a year it has been. We started as 35 partners and as the year progressed we became more than a partnership, paraphrasing Craig Ritchie, we became “the EPAD family”, all working together in the fight against Alzheimer’s dementia. In the mean-time EPAD welcomed a new partner, Aridhia, and it looks like we might be extending the family with another partner in 2017 (more on this coming soon).
Today we are celebrating EPAD’s first anniversary with the maiden issue of the EPAD Newsletter. This electronic newsletter will be published quarterly and be accessible via the EPAD website (www.ep-ad.org) and inform the Alzheimer community on EPAD’s main achievements, upcoming events as well as allow you to meet the scientists who make it all happen.
In this first issue, an overview of the project's main achievements of 2015 is presented. You can also find out more about 2 of the EPAD collaborators, Judi Syson and Lennert Steukers.
We hope you enjoy this first issue of the EPAD newsletter and look forward on working with all of you on EPAD in the year ahead.
