Abstract
The Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation's 13th International Conference on Alzheimer's Drug Discovery was held on 10-11 September 2012 in Jersey City, NJ, USA. This meeting report provides an overview of Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation-funded programs, ranging from novel biomarkers to accelerate clinical development to drug-discovery programs with a focus on targets related to neuroprotection, mitochondrial function, apolipoprotein E and vascular biology.

A multitude of factors lead to the onset of neurodegenerative diseases, including mitochondrial dysfunction, altered lipid metabolism and dysregulation of intracellular trafficking and signaling pathways
Apolipoprotein E While the APOE4 allele was identified as a significant risk allele for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in the early 1990s, to date there are no late-stage development programs targeting this pathological mechanism
