Memory, Insight & Neurodegenerative Disorders Student Association (MIND UofT)
An interdisciplinary, undergraduate community empowering research, education and advocacy in neurodegenerative diseases. MIND UofT bridges the gap between undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, clinicians, and interested peers to explore the molecular, clinical and psychological facets of disorders like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, and Huntington’s. In addition, we also aim to address the challenges faced by geriatric patients in healthcare.
