Alzheimer’s research at Art2Cure closing event
On 20 September 2022, Prof. Michael Heneka gave a lecture during the closing event for Art2Cure, a fundraising initiative where Luxembourg-based artists contribute their work to help fund local biomedical research. It was an opportunity to meet donors who have generously supported the LCSB and the University of Luxembourg over the years. Heneka, who took up the position of LCSB director at the beginning of 2022, recapitulated key findings on dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, the main focus of his work. He also highlighted the importance of conducting interdisciplinary research and developing a national healthcare strategy to tackle the disease.
The funds raised during this ninth edition of Art2Cure will go towards the Alzheimer’s fund at the LCSB. It will support several research initiatives, including a project led by Michael Heneka to explore the pivotal role played by immune mechanisms in the initiation and progression of the disease. ¢
