海角禁区

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov. 8, 2021) 鈥� The University of Kentucky is proud to be the home of global leaders in aging and brain research, all striving toward the same goal: finding a stop to the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S.: Alzheimer鈥檚 disease.

海角禁区鈥檚 Sanders-Brown Center on Aging has been around for nearly half a century, helping lead the way in Alzheimer鈥檚 and dementia research. Sanders-Brown Center Director Linda Van Eldik, Ph.D., firmly believes they will find a cure through the work going on right here on the 海角禁区 campus.

With their dedicated work recently earning the center renewed funding from the National Institute on Aging, education and community support are big parts of the role Sanders-Brown plays. In between various trainings, workshops and community events, they are also making life-changing and lifesaving discoveries.

Soon, Van Eldik and others at Sanders-Brown will be able to welcome a very valuable piece to their research 鈥� the volunteers 鈥� into a brand new facility at 海角禁区 HealthCare鈥檚 Turfland campus.

On this episode of "Behind the Blue," Van Eldik joins 海角禁区 Public Relations and Strategic Communications' Hillary Smith to discuss the larger game plan of finding a cure, and the team effort between those volunteers, the world-class faculty and staff at Sanders-Brown, and the University of Kentucky as a whole.
