International Researchers Poised to Learn New Insights About C₂N Diagnostics’ Blood Test Innovations at Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease Conference
ST. LOUIS — November 17, 2022 — C₂N Diagnostics, a leader in advanced brain health diagnostics, will offer multiple presentations and posters to highlight new, important insights relating to its PrecivityAD® blood test, p-tau MAA™ and other unique biomarkers that aid healthcare providers in diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease at the Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease (CTAD) conference.
Of high interest will be multiple late-breaker oral presentations regarding C₂N innovations, including CEO Dr. Joel B. Braunstein’s on December 2. During the presentation he will share new data about the clinical diagnostic usefulness of the PrecivityAD® test and its impact on medical decision-making among practicing neurologists.
