"Geroscience approaches for understanding and treating Alzheimer's disease."

The Anne Klibanski Visiting Lecture Series was created to support and advance the careers of women. These lectures bring together faculty from institutions that have hosted Anne Klibanski Scholars with MGH scholars, on topics that overlap both research areas. 

The first lecture will be given by Mitzi Gonzales, PhD, University of Texas Health San Antonio.

Beyond the outrageous expense, the quality of care varies wildly, and millions of Americans can’t get care when they need it. This is bad for patients, bad for doctors, and bad for business. Using clear and compelling language, Author and President of Verily Life Sciences, Dr. Vivian S. Lee, paints a picture that is both realistic and optimistic. It may not be a quick fix, but her concrete action plan for reform—for employers and other payers, patients, clinicians, and policy makers—can reinvent health care, and create a less costly, more efficient, and healthier system for all.

This year's annual Women in Medicine lecture featured Nancy J. Brown, MD, Jean and David W. Wallace Dean of the Yale School of Medicine and C.N.H. Long Professor of Internal Medicine.

In this session, Elise Wulff highlights core concepts to be aware of in the back-to-school transition and suggests practical strategies for how to support your child.
