A New Approach to the War on Neurological Disease
According to the World Health Organization, more than 55 million people are living with dementia worldwide, with more than 10 million new cases every year. Going further, this number is expected to triple by 2050. That is, unless something is done to stop aging-related neurological disorders. That’s what Dr. Christin Glorioso has set out to do. Dr. Glorioso, and her team at NeuroAge Therapeutics, are taking a revolutionary approach to treat neurological disorders – by creating the first aging clock that is specific to the brain. We reached out to Dr. Glorioso to learn more about what her team is working on and how they plan to stop some of the most debilitating and unfortunate afflictions humans face.
