The Search for an Alzheimer’s Cure: An Intimate Look at Clinical Trials, Genetic Protection & Resilience With Jennie Erin Smith
-
サマリー
あらすじ・解説
What if we could finally uncover a cure for Alzheimer’s by learning from the families who’ve lived through it? In this episode, I interview Jennie Erin Smith, author of “Valley of Forgetting”, to discuss the realities of clinical trials, the human element behind the research, and the hope that still drives the fight for an Alzheimer’s cure.
Jennie shares heartfelt stories of resilience and the challenges faced by both families and researchers. We also dive deep into the cutting-edge genetic research showing how some may be naturally protected from Alzheimer’s and what this could mean for treatment options.
Tune in to hear how science, hope, and resilience are paving the way toward a cure!
“I would call the book intimate. The reason it's intimate is that the cover features the family in their own home. That's how the researchers see the families, right? They went to their homes.”
~ Jennie Erin Smith
