Cure Alzheimer’s Fund’s Dr. Rudolph Tanzi is featured in an article and video on CNN’s Health section in which he discusses his life and work on Alzheimer’s disease. An excerpt from the article:
Tanzi leads the Alzheimer’s Genome Project, a groundbreaking initiative in collaboration with the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund that is dedicated to finding genes associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Once scientists identify what’s going wrong with those genes in people who have the condition, they can work toward developing drugs that may repair the damage. “The idea is fix what’s broken,” Tanzi said.
