The University of Arizona has been awarded a five-year $60 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to create and lead a Precision Aging Network (PAN) that could transform the way we think about the aging brain.
The network will bring together researchers from across the country to better understand how and why people experience brain aging differently, with the ultimate goal of developing more effective treatments and interventions targeted to the individual. “Outcomes of Precision Aging Network research are critical for developing precision medicine approaches to prevent age-associated neurodegenerative diseases, most especially Alzheimer’s,” said Dr. Roberta Diaz Brinton, Center Director and Associate Director of the PAN.

I’m interested, but white middle class 68 years old. My mother and her mother had Alzheimer’s. My older brother has dementia too. So far I’m ok.
