Discover New Approaches to Combat Alzheimer's Disease
More than 580,000 people age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's disease in Florida. By 2025, that number is expected to increase by 24%.
Listen as Gregg Fields, Ph.D., executive director of FAU’s Institute for Human Health and Disease Intervention and a professor in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, discusses emerging technology designed to treat and monitor Alzheimer’s Disease, including:
- The use of Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) technology to deliver drugs to the brain.
- Diagnosis using less invasive and less expensive blood-based biomarkers.
- The use of biomarkers to evaluate the potential effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.
