AD/PD™ 2026 – Copenhagen
How do some people reach 100 years old with their cognition intact? Our researchers will share new insights at the AD/PD™ 2026 Conference in Copenhagen this week.
Several members of our team will be presenting their latest research. If you’re attending the conference, we would love to connect!
📍 Friday, 20 March 2026 – Hall A2 –
18:40
🧠 Symposium: Cognitively Healthy
Centenarians: How Do They Do It?
Presentations:
• Henne
Holstege – Neuropathology in cognitively healthy centenarians: How did age
affect their brain?
• Yaran
Zhang – Peripheral epigenetic aging predicts survival independent of
Alzheimer’s neuropathology and cognition in centenarians
• Marc
Hulsman – Brains from cognitively healthy centenarians resisted
accumulation of AD pathology and exhibit lower APOE, early proteasome response,
and maintained β-oxidation
