A Blood Test to Predict Alzheimer's Disease?
Join the next USAgainstAlzheimer's Network conference call May 16th from 1-2 p.m. EST and learn about a new blood test that researchers say can predict – with 90 percent accuracy – if a healthy person will develop the disease within three years. When my book came out in late 2012, there was no blood test that could diagnose or predict Alzheimer's, so I'm looking forward to participating in this call and learning more.
Dr. Howard Federoff, the Executive Vice President for Health Sciences and Executive Dean of Georgetown University School of Medicine, led the research team and will brief call participants on why his biomarker study is a potential game-changer.
Anyone can join the call. Register here.
