Sanford Burnham Prebys recently welcomed members of the San Diego community for an engaging afternoon focused on the intersection of aging and Alzheimer’s disease. Hosted as part of the A Conversation About series, the event featured a panel discussion with leading experts from the Center for Neurologic Diseases and Conrad Prebys Center for Chemical Genomics. The afternoon offered valuable insights into how the biology of aging contributes to neurodegenerative disease and how research at Sanford Burnham Prebys is helping to shape the future of prevention and treatment.

Panelists included Dr. Su-Chun Zhang, Dr. Timothy Huang, and Dr. Anne Bang, who discussed current findings, ongoing research collaborations, and the role of translational science in accelerating progress against Alzheimer’s. The panel also included author and caregiver advocate Muffy Walker, who introduced her new novel, Memory Weavers, which draws on her personal experience with Alzheimer’s disease.

The event was introduced by Reena Horowitz, founder of Group of 12 and Friends at Sanford Burnham Prebys, whose support has been instrumental in fostering dialogue around science and health within our community.
