The Design and Innovation STEM Program is offered from August 20-24, 2018. Over the course of five days, students in 5^th-8^th grades will work together to develop creative solutions to real-world topics they are passionate about while learning about the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

This one-day symposium will present recent developments in our understanding of how innate immune processes impact the pathobiology of AD.  Moreover, the program will explore emerging dynamic mechanisms at the intersection of neurology and immunology with the goal of targeting the innate immune system in the CNS for next-generation AD therapeutics.

This symposium will focus on the current challenges that basic and translational researchers are facing to fight antimicrobial resistance, as well as offering perspectives on emerging therapeutic strategies to address this global health threat.

This unique program opportunity, SALT Washington D.C., is a 4-day program designed to familiarize exceptional students in the STEM fields with the leadership concepts that will allow them to effectively advocate for their career.
