Become a Mesulam Center Research Advocate
What does being involved in research mean to you?
We’re looking for Mesulam Center research participants who are interested in sharing their story. If you are involved in one of our studies and/or clinical trials, or if you are a caregiver of a research participant, we want to hear from you!
Our research studies lead to better understanding of cognitive aging and future treatments for Alzheimer’s and related dementia conditions. Edith Renfrow Smith was interviewed for the Today Show to share her experience with the SuperAging Study.
“When NBC News special anchor Maria Shriver asked her how it feels to be 104, Smith was quick to respond. ‘Oh, I feel good,’ she said. ‘I've always been able to recover from whatever happened… your body tells you what you can do.’ She was still driving a year ago, only stopping because of hand strength, not weaker cognitive ability.” Watch the interview here.
If being involved in a story like this interests you, complete this form. Someone from our team will reach out to you as stories and media opportunities arise.
Thank you in advance!
