Earlier this month, Penn Alzheimer’s Disease Core Center Director Dr. John Q. Trojanowski presented a lecture on “Experimental Transmission of Tau Pathology: Implications for Diagnosis and Therapy” at the 2016 Söderberg Prize Seminar at the Swedish Society of Medicine in Stockholm, Sweden.
This Seminar recognized Dr. Kaj Blennow, the first Alzheimer’s disease researcher to receive this award. Queen Silvia of Sweden, an avid Alzheimer’s disease research advocate, was in attendance to present the award.
The Queen Silvia Nursing Award was launched in 2013 to encourage nursing students to become more interested and involved in research on dementia.
“The aim is to support young, driven people with creative ideas that can question convention in how we care for the elderly and dementia patients,” Queen Silvia said in an interview with AARP’s The Journal.
