About the event

Network and nosh, then listen to luminary Alzheimer’s disease researcher Bruce Lamb, PhD, unpack the groundbreaking, lifesaving work he and his team are doing in the field of neuroscience. Come ready to be inspired.

About the speaker

You might be surprised to learn that, despite being a trailblazing researcher in Alzheimer’s disease and the executive director of the Stark Neurosciences Research Institute at IU School of Medicine, Lamb has no formal training in neuroscience. It wasn’t until he worked under John D. Gearhart, PhD, a pioneer in stem cell research, that he became fascinated with finding a cure for the debilitating disease. Today at Stark, Lamb oversees a team of more than 100 faculty investigators working in nine research interest groups ranging from neurodegenerative disorders to addiction to spinal cord and brain injuries.
