Join Mark Albers, MD, PhD, a leading neurologist and researcher for a Guest Lecture as he shares insights into memory, the brain, and how our sense of smell could unlock earlier diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases and guide treatment plans in the future.

Thank you to Mary Jo Chapoton and Jim Carney for making this event possible.

Mark Albers, MD, PhD

After earning both his PhD from Harvard University and his MD through the Harvard Medical School and MIT Health Sciences & Technology program, Dr. Albers completed his clinical training at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital before conducting research at Columbia University.

Today, he cares for patients in the Memory Disorders Unit at Mass General while leading research into how changes in our sense of smell may provide one of the earliest indicators of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Dr. Albers served as a member of the American Academy of Neurology’s Translational Neuroscience Committee and is internationally recognized for his work developing innovative approaches to the early detection of brain disease and to new treatments.

As part of his visit, Dr. Albers will be discussing a new brain health test based on the sense of smell that can be done at home. Complimentary tests will be made available to attendees who would like to take one home and try it.
