DIAN-TU Study Profiled on PBS

3/2/2016

 
Picture
GHR Foundation’s Health Initiative is targeting funding to improve some of the largest Alzheimer’s prevention research efforts in the field, including Washington University Medical School’s DIAN-TU Study. This study is quickly evaluating potential prevention treatments among people with a rare genetic trait that causes the onset of the devastating disease in the prime of their lives.

The DIAN-TU Study was recently profiled by PBS’ SciTech Now program, which interviewed Dr. Randall Bateman, Dr. John Morris and a participant of the study. The DIAN-TU segment is the first of three in the 26-minute show, and continues in an interview at the end. This touching and informative profile illustrates not only the science behind the study, but the implications of the disease and what motivates participants.

​To learn more about how GHR is joining forces with industry, other philanthropic partners and the United States National Institutes of Health for the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease, contact us.
