CONFERENCE COVERAGE SERIES
International Conference on Frontotemporal Dementia 2018
Sydney, Australia
11 – 14 November 2018
Encompassing more than half dozen subtypes, linked to at least four different protein aggregates and at least six distinct genes, frontotemporal dementia would seem like a researcher’s nightmare. And yet, its science is advancing so fast that they have never been more hopeful. Read Tom Fagan’s coverage of the 11th International Congress on FTD, held in Sydney, to catch up on the news.
