PRION 2013

The Alberta Prion Research Institute, part of Alberta Innovates Bio Solutions, is proud to host the world's largest international prion research congress, PRION 2013, in Banff, Alberta, Canada from May 26-29, 2013. PRION 2013 will feature sessions on the following themes: socioeconomic impacts; protein structure and biology; prion diseases in animals; and prion diseases and prion-like diseases in humans.

Highly-respected researchers, students, postdoctoral fellows, clinicians and policy makers from the neurological and prion fields will gather to focus on what can be done collaboratively to work towards discoveries, diagnostics and treatments for debilitating and often fatal neurological diseases in humans and animals. The knowledge exchange that will take place at PRION 2013 will help to shape the future of prion and protein misfolding research and its application around the world.
