Dr. Jeffrey Cummings - The Importance of Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Patients

Alzheimer's disease starts in the brain without symptoms and progresses over time. Dr. Jeff Cummings speaks about the importance of early detection as a way to intervene at early onset to slow or even stop the disease's progression. This is one of the key areas of new research that will also require participation of healthy people as well as those with early signs of mild cognitive impairment.

The Rock Stars of Science is a Geoffrey Beene Gives Back® initiative. It is focused on recognizing the brilliant and dedicated men and women leading research today who have made significant contributions to health research. We also want to inspire the next generation of Rock Stars of Science to take up the battle against diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's that impact so many. Join us in standing behind scientists and raising our voices and awareness around establishing medical research as a national priority to help achieve our mission of going from "Cause to Cure in our TIme".
