A global Alzheimer’s organization is expanding its research into southeast Texas. The global Alzheimer’s Platform Foundation is partnering with Gadolin Research. The Beaumont Medical Clinic joins more than 130 research centers worldwide that make up the G.A.P. network.
The joint partnership centered on improving access to research opportunities in our area and finding a cure for Alzheimer’s.
“We really want people to understand what the disease is and how impactful it can be. And if there’s one message we really want to get out, it’s that early diagnosis and early identification of Alzheimer’s are very important,” said CEO of Gadolin Research, Joel Ebuh.
There are 6.7 million Americans currently living with Alzheimer’s disease. That number is expected to more than double to 13.8 million people by 2060.
