Posted September 2, 2025


Join us as we learn about the personal reflections from scientists funded by Cure Alzheimer’s Fund and gain a direct window into their motivations and challenges that drive Alzheimer's research today.


Meet Dr. Yun Chen, junior scientist in the lab of Dr. David Holtzman at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Dr. Chen is working toward advancing our understanding of how certain genetic factors may confer resilience against Alzheimer’s disease and if their protective power could be harnessed for the development of future treatments.

Dr. Holtzman is a member of the CureAlz Research Leadership Group and Chair of the Fleming APOE Consortium. Learn here about his work funded by CureAlz.
