About SCMND 2027

The UK DRI is proud to be hosting the second edition of the 'Stem cell models of neurodegeneration' (SCMND) meeting, as part of the Cure-ND network.

This three-day international symposium will focus on the development and application of stem cell models to understand and develop treatments for neurodegenerative disease.

This symposium will be an exploration of the successes and ongoing studies in the field, and an opportunity for the community internationally to come together and discuss their work, compare approaches and to facilitate collaboration.
