Lecture Series

We host lunchtime lectures for our Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center study participants, which are presented virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These gatherings are a great opportunity to discuss frequently asked questions and common topics of interest for study participants in a comfortable, informal setting with our clinicians. View more on our YouTube channel.

We also host various lectures, as well as a Learn at Home series to help educate patients and family members online.
