As a host institution for #NAI2026, it was an honor to celebrate worldwide innovations and #inventors in LA. Congrats to all the inductees, including Honorary Member @USC President Kim and Mark Stevens, who also received the inaugural Innovation Philanthropy Award for his impact!
Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most enigmatic brain afflictions and among the greatest health care challenges facing the nation. It affects more than 7 million Americans — a number projected to double by 2060.
This article, which first appeared in @USC's Trojan Family Magazine on May 26, 2026, is the fourth in the series “USC United Against Alzheimer’s: Collaborating in Research and Care,” which illustrates how USC researchers and clinicians are making groundbreaking strides in the treatment, prevention and care of #Alzheimers.
