Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging
What is the CCNA? 350+ clinicians and researchers throughout Canada have come together to form the CCNA and are accelerating progress in age-related neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Vascular dementia, Frontotemporal dementia, and Lewy body dementia. Based on their area of specialization, CCNA’s researchers are divided into 20 teams throughout Canada, and are working in the areas of prevention, treatment, and quality of life. They draw on the data of eight national platforms, and are supported by four cross-cutting programs, who assist teams in identifying gaps, synergies, and accelerating idea uptake. @ccna_ccnv https://vimeo.com/channels/ccna
