The Arizona Alzheimer’s Consortium places a top priority on fostering and engaging emerging young scientists.
Every year, our scientific conference dedicates a specific portion of poster and abstract presentations to student submissions via our member institutions. We welcome presentations
by:
- High school students
- Undergraduate students
- Graduate students
- Postdoctoral fellows

Through our programs, students have the opportunity to work side-by- side with some of the world’s most talented scientists, clinicians and researchers in an environment dedicated to neuroscientific biomedical research and clinical care.
“Advancing the research education and training of great students, introducing them to talented researchers, and engaging them in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders:
What could be better than that?”
