Allan Levey, MD, PhD, Director, Brain Health Personalized Medicine Institute, Emory University

“Racing For An Effective Treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease: One Person At a Time”

Dr. Levey will provide a brief introduction to Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, including the current state of knowledge, treatments, and accelerating progress in research. Given his many years of work as chair of the Department of Neurology and his recent appointment as Director of the newly constituted Brain Health Personalized Medicine Institute—not to mention his continuing roles as The Goizueta Foundation Endowed Chair for Alzheimer’s Disease Research, and Betty Gage Holland Professor and Chair, and director of the Goizueta Alzheimer's Disease Research Center—there may be no one better able to share highlights of Emory’s remarkable record of ongoing research in neurodegenerative disease and information about the initiatives in this area that the Brain Health Center will be pursuing under his leadership.
