$52 Million To Lead Alzheimers Disease Study Received By UCS(2)

In 2003, Thal was invited to meet with the Chinese government in Beijing along with four others experts in Alzheimer's disease to help the Chinese government develop research and treatment programs for this new century. He has trained dozens of scientists who have gone on to be active researchers in Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

"Alzheimers disease remains the most important disease of aging in the 21st century because of its great personal, economic and societal cost," said Thal.
