Broad Institute at SfN 2026

Nov 14–18, 2026 Washington, DC ~21k attendees Website

Broad Institute brings 14 presentations to SfN 2026 in Washington. Its presentations centre on mapping the human brain, tracing neural circuits, and studying disease mechanisms and treatments. One thread links a shared DNA-repeat toxicity threshold to cell-type-specific neurodegeneration in Huntington’s disease.
