Understanding more about prion diseases...
Two public lectures...
One of the objectives of NeuroPrion is to inform the public about the latest research and to discuss its impact on Society.
On this page, Prof. James Ironside and Dr. Marc Turner will deliver presentations on vCJD, the current situation, risk of human to human spread and strategies to restrict the spread of vCJD. These "public" lectures were filmed at the Assembly Hall, in Edingburgh, Scotland on the 25th of September 2007.
NeuroPrion and the Prion2007 organising committee would like to thank Prof. Ironside and Dr. Turner for their contribution.
