American Neurological Association Featured in Newswire Article Announcing the Key Plenaries for 147th Annual Meeting October 22–25, 2022, in Chicago
The 147th Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association (ANA) will explore new frontiers in neurology, including the impact of climate change on the human brain, whether lab-grown brain structures can shed new light on neurologic disease, and how to address disparities in neurologic diagnosis and care for diverse populations. Taking place October 22–25, 2022 at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago, IL, the meeting is the ANA’s first in-person conference since the COVID pandemic began, and is expected to draw approximately 1,000 of the nation’s and the world’s top academic neurologists and neuroscientists, students, and trainees.
More than ever, the 2022 Annual Meeting will leverage the ANA’s unique ability to create multi-specialty collaborations around interdisciplinary topics. Both the keynote sessions and new “cross-cutting” interest groups will spotlight issues with implications for many different diseases and research areas.
“The ANA Annual Meeting has long been known as a venue for chance encounters with the greatest minds in neurology and neuroscience, across all career stages,” said ANA President Frances Jensen, MD, professor and chair of the Department of Neurology at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania. “While our virtual annual meetings retained that spirit, we look forward to having those in-person encounters again, and sharing the sense of excitement and possibility that comes with tackling the newest and most urgent topics in the field.”
“We have such an exciting range of plenaries, with some phenomenal speakers,” said Rebecca Gottesman, MD, PhD, chair of the ANA’s Scientific Program Advisory Committee and senior investigator and stroke branch chief at the Intramural Research Program of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health. “The great thing about this meeting is there is something for every specialty, but also the program is designed so our major sessions are compelling to everyone.”
