Alzheimer's Disease: A Giving Smarter Guide to Accelerate Development of New Therapies

The need is staggering. Alzheimer's disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and currently, more than 5.5 million Americans are living with this disease for which there is yet no cure yet.
