2027 Tauopathy Challenge Workshop
Tauopathy Challenge Workshop™ is a small, invitation-only event that convenes interdisciplinary experts to solve for key gaps in our understanding of primary tauopathies, with a focus on Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Frontotemporal Dementias.
The Rainwater Charitable Foundation (RCF) along with our partners the Aging Mind Foundation, Alzheimer's Association, and CurePSP, is pleased to host the 2027 Tauopathy Challenge Workshop™ that will uncover the mechanisms by which intrinsic biological context including sex, age, metabolism, and cell identity can shape cellular vulnerability, resilience, and organelle crosstalk in the pathogenesis of primary tauopathies.
