David A. Bennett, Robert C. Borwell Professor of Neurological Sciences, Department of Neurological Sciences, Rush University Medical Center, presents, "Mixed Pathology, Risk Factors, Resilience, and Personalized Medicine for Alzheimer's Dementia.”

This seminar will introduce you to two prospective analytic cohort studies of aging and dementia in which all participants agree to donate brain, spinal cord, muscle and nerve, and more recently skin, fat, and bone, at the time of death. He will demonstrate how loss of cognition is a complex function of numerous brain pathologies that add to and interact with numerous indices of resilience. Finally, leveraging a unique platform of more than 50 induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from autopsied study participants, he will illustrate a path to personalized medicine for AD and resilience.
