MRW11: Perivascular Drainage and the Origins of Neuro-Opthalmological Disease Event

P.O.N.D. - A Mechanism Discovered in Southampton

The interdisciplinary focus group called POND that is based within the University of Southampton are holding a workshop, aimed at designing an action plan to clarify the mechanism behind the perivascular drainage of the brain and its failure in neuroophtalmologic disease. This mechanism was discovered in Southampton and is now accepted internationally as key in the pathology of Alzheimer's Disease. This event brings together clinicians, biologists, mathematicians, computer scientists, physiologists and chemists. Participants are: George Attard, Rox Carare, Geraldine Clough, Costa Corbari, Maureen Gatherer, Cheryl Hawkes, James Nicoll, Georges Limbert, Andrew Lotery, Tony Postle, Tina Roose, Matthew Sharp, Neil Smyth, Ali Tavassoli, Heather Thomson, Roy Weller.
