Honoring our Researchers
In October 2005, less than one short year after our founding, the first in-person meeting of our then-seven-member Research Consortium was held in Washington, D.C. At that meeting, the group developed an outline for our areas of scientific focus and agreed that collaboration was fundamental to success. Along with collaboration, an essential element for the future of Cure Alzheimer’s Fund would be the continued identification and attraction of leading researchers in the field.
In our newsletter, we honor the exceptional scientists and the teams in their labs for the work they are doing to rid our world of Alzheimer’s disease. Their contributions and commitment are vital to our future. They understand that 50 million people worldwide, and their friends and family, live with the burden and devastation of this fatal disease. Many of the researchers profiled have their own very personal experience with a friend or family member diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, a motivating factor in their journey. For the 17 years I have been with Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, I have admired and grown very fond of our researchers for their diligence, generosity and care. I can write with confidence that we are in great hands and, one day, there will be a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.
