Canine Conference 2023
About the Conference
The first Canine Cognition and Aging Conference was held in 1995 with the goal of allowing researchers to discuss ideas related to the development of a canine model of cognition and aging. Its growth in both scope and attendance, reflects a broadening scientific understanding of the utility of the dog as a model of human cognitive aging, and an increase in interest in developing therapeutics targeting companion animal behavior.
This year's conference will focus on both of these underlying themes: the dog as a model for human age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and osteoarthritis, and on the development of interventions for treatment of age-associated disorders and behavior problems in companion animals.
Conference Highlights
Key participants will include leaders of companion animal research from around the world representing both industry and academia. Speakers and their topics include:
