Exciting news! Dr. Brinton is today’s keynote at the HHS National Conference on Women’s Health, sharing insights on how menopause impacts Alzheimer’s risk in women. Bridging research and policy for better health! #WomensHealth #Alzheimers

Dr. Brinton is featured by the Aspen Institute in its newly launched Women’s Health Series, spotlighting leading experts nationwide. The Female Brain and the Future of Alzheimer’s Prevention — Feb. 3, 5–6 p.m. MST. Learn more: aspeninstitute.org.

We’re excited to welcome the latest cohort of Native students to our training programs, preparing them to become health professionals and researchers with cultural competence and community trust—key to reducing health disparities and increasing minority representation in STEM.

We are grateful for the support that fuels our mission to find cures for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, MS and ALS. May your Thanksgiving be full of peace, love and joy!

Thrilled to share our new study in @SciReports! We found that during perimenopause, women's brain white matter temporarily reorganizes to a more 'male-like' profile. This highlights a critical window for brain health and understanding Alzheimer's risk. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Dr. Brinton will present her team’s latest findings at the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) on Nov. 16 at 3 p.m. PST. Their new research shows improved AD pathology biomarkers after treatment with a combination of FDA-approved drugs: atorvastatin, pioglitazone, and tofacitinib.

Dr. Brinton was honored as Inventor of the Year at last night's I-squared Expo and Awards, presented by the University of Arizona's Tech Launch Arizona (TLA). TLA is the guiding force in moving inventions stemming from university research to the marketplace. @UAZTechLaunch
