A North Texas doctor says a groundbreaking treatment will change the world for people living with Alzheimer's and their families.
The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth received a $150 million grant for groundbreaking new Alzheimer's research.
"We are going to change the world," O’Bryant said. "There has never been a large-scale study like this before that will use a health disparities framework in this way. We will comprehensively study the causes and risks of Alzheimer’s disease, including social and cultural factors." Groundbreaking Alzheimer's research could save millions
African Americans are the group most likely to be affected by Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. Hispanics are projected to have the greatest increase in Alzheimer's disease by 2060. "We respect the language and the culture and meet people where they are to engage on a personal level and then allow them to understand what we're doing and what the plan is for the research," said UNT Health Science Center President Dr. Sylvia Trent-Adams.
