Progress in Understanding and Tackling Multifactorial Alzheimer's Disease
Medicinal Chemistry
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder and a primary cause of dementia. Despite extensive research, effective diagnostic and therapeutic options for AD remain elusive. Nevertheless, recent advancements in understanding the disease mechanisms hold promise for developing potential diagnostic and therapeutic solutions. This Global Virtual Symposia aims to discuss these recent developments comprehensively, enhancing our understanding of the multifactorial nature of Alzheimer’s disease, and facilitating the creation of effective diagnostics and therapeutics.
Symposium Features
Present your research in your local time zone
Inviting all early career chemists from across the globe to deliver flash presentations.
Get exposure and recognition
As a presenter, you will receive a certificate of participation at ACS Meetings.
Abstracts will be listed in the CAS database and can be added to your Google Scholar profile.
Symposium schedule
The symposium will feature multiple sessions from August 17-21.
Sessions will be programmed at convenient daytimes of multiple regions such as Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania; however, for the Americas, these sessions will be at early mornings and evenings.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are Flash presentations?
They are brief, impactful, and convey information about a novel protocol, perspective, technique, or research results. For instance, one Flash Talk may describe an innovative interdisciplinary research outcome. Another may describe results for a pilot/prototype study.
-
Can I submit an abstract if I'm not an early career researcher?
This symposium focuses on early career researchers, but all researchers are welcome to attend. However, the format of the presentation will be 8 minutes flash talk.
-
What is the submission deadline for abstracts?
The submission deadline for abstracts is March 31, 11:59 PM ET.
-
What is the required format for abstracts?
Abstracts should be 2500 characters or less and include the title, author(s), and a concise description of your research.
-
Can I include images or figures in my abstract?
Yes, limited use of images or figures is permitted to enhance your abstract's content.
-
When will I know if my abstract is accepted?
Presenters can expect to receive their acceptance notices approximately 3 months before the meeting. Scheduling notices are sent periodically starting approximately 2 months before the meeting.
