Metal Ions in Neurodegenerative Disease (MIND) Symposium

29th -30th June 2026 at ODEON, Odense, Denmark

Join us for the Metal Ions in Neurodegenerative Disease (MIND) Symposium, an integrated part of the ICCC2026 conference program, bringing together leading researchers from around the world to explore the critical role of metal ions in brain health and neurodegeneration.

The symposium will cover a broad spectrum of topics, including:

  • Fundamentals of Metal Ion Biology in the Brain

  • Metal–Protein Interactions and Pathological Mechanisms

  • Chemical and Biophysical Tools for Studying Metal Dysregulation

  • Metal-based Imaging

  • Therapeutic Strategies

  • Translational Perspectives

 

This symposium provides a unique opportunity to hear from international leaders in the field, engage with cutting-edge research, and discuss strategies for translating metal ion biology discoveries into therapies for neurodegenerative diseases.

This Symposium is Sponsored by:

A special 2-Day registration option is available for attendees interested in MIND onlyDKK 2,400 (~€300).
