Neurodegenerative diseases: An Impossible Challenge for Modern Medicine?
“Neurodegenerative diseases may well be the most challenging conditions modern medicine has to learn to treat. How do these manifest, why are these currently incurable, and what strategies is current research using to tackle these diseases?”
An exploration into two key neurodegenerative diseases - Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. This masterclass would introduce the clinical presentations of these diseases, the underlying pathology, and strategies current and future research is employing to aim to cure them.
Host: Harry is currently studying Medicine at Trinity College, Cambridge, having graduated with a First Class degree in Neuroscience. He is recipient of the Trinity College "Rashbass prize" for Medical Sciences and Physiology.
Duration: Suggested 1-2hrs, depending on the level of detail the student desires.
