Objectives
– Introduce computational tools to understand, diagnose, and model Alzheimer’s disease, integrating methods from biophysics, statistical analysis, and artificial intelligence.
– Train the next generation of neuroscientists in modern computational methods.
– Foster interdisciplinary collaboration among research groups in Antioquia, Colombia, and internationally.
Justification
Computational Approaches to Alzheimer’s Disease is a two-day international symposium to be held in Medellín, Colombia. It will bring together researchers from Colombia and the United States to advance the understanding of Alzheimer’s disease through underutilized computational methodologies.
Moving beyond the field’s traditional emphasis on purely physiological approaches, the symposium will showcase innovative tools for understanding, diagnosing, and modeling Alzheimer’s disease. These approaches integrate methods from biophysics, statistical analysis, and artificial intelligence.
The symposium also aims to train the next generation of neuroscientists in modern computational techniques and to foster interdisciplinary collaboration among research groups in Antioquia, Colombia, and across the broader international scientific community.

Poster presentation
On this form, you can submit the abstract to be presented at the “Computational Approaches to Alzheimer’s Disease” Symposium, which will take place on April 23rd – April 24th, 2026.
Abstract General Topics:
– Computational Neuroscience.
– Artificial Intelligence applied to Neuroscience Data.
– Omics and Bioinformatics applied to Neuroscience Data
Abstracts will be assessed on their scientific content, including:
– All abstracts mus be written in English and should be 250 words or less.
– The topic must be related to Alzheimer’s disease and/or computational modeling in neuroscience.
– Only original research is permitted.
Deadline: April 5th, 2026, 11:59 pm COT.
Due to space restrictions, abstracts will undergo a selection process. Final selection will be informed by April 13th.
