EVERY DOLLAR DOUBLED FOR ALZHEIMER’S RESEARCH

It is Emory Day of Giving—and right now, gifts to the Goizueta Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (GADRC) are being matched $1-for-$1. We are still $9,900 away from the match goal, so your gift can go twice as far.

The Goizueta Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (GADRC), part of the Goizueta Brain Health Institute (GBHI), is leading the charge against Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Our mission is clear: improve lives today while building a future free from the burden of neurodegenerative disease.

A gift to GADRC powers:

✅Breakthrough research aimed at earlier diagnosis and better treatment
✅Expanded access to clinical trials and innovative therapies
Education and outreach that equip families and caregivers
✅Compassionate, evidence-based care for those navigating cognitive change

Match ends TOMORROW (March 26) at 6 PM EDT.

Research for the Future. Empowerment for the Now. Your Choice. Where Will You Make Your Mark?

On Emory Day of Giving, every gift becomes a statement about the future we believe in and the lives we choose to uplift today.

At the Goizueta Brain Health Institute at Emory University, that future is being shaped on two timelines at once. One unfolds in research labs and clinical trials, where scientists are decoding the biology of Alzheimer’s and related diseases. The other unfolds in classrooms and communities, where individuals and families are gaining the resources to live fully and confidently now.

Within the Institute, the Goizueta Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center is advancing discoveries that will change the course of brain disease for generations. Researchers are identifying earlier markers, developing new treatments, and bringing breakthrough science closer to prevention and a cure. Your support on Emory Day of Giving fuels the science of discovery, accelerating progress when it matters most.

At the same time, the Charlie and Harriet Shaffer Cognitive Empowerment Program (CEP) is empowering people to live with strength and purpose today. Through evidence-based cognitive training, community engagement, and compassionate support, CEP helps participants build confidence, sharpen cognitive skills, and rediscover joy. Your gift funds the art of living, ensuring families facing cognitive change are supported, connected, and empowered.

Both paths are essential. One transforms tomorrow through research. The other transforms today through empowerment. Together, they redefine what is possible.

This Emory Day of Giving, make your mark.

Caregiving can turn sleep upside down—for both care partners and people living with dementia.

Join Brain Talk Live for “Repairing Sleep in Dementia Caregiving” with Glenna S. Brewster Glasgow, PhD, RN, FNP-BC (Emory University) for practical, compassionate strategies to improve rest and reduce burnout—plus live Q&A.

🧠 ABOUT OUR SPEAKER:

Dr. Glenna Brewster is a nurse scientist, Family Nurse Practitioner, and Assistant Professor at the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing at Emory University. She leads the Mind At Rest Research Lab, where her work focuses on sleep health and dementia caregiving across local, national, and global communities. Her research examines sleep disturbance among persons living with cognitive changes including dementia, and their care partners and tests behavioral sleep interventions designed for caregiving dyads. Her studies have demonstrated meaningful improvements in insomnia symptoms for both caregivers and persons living with cognitive changes.

In addition to her clinical trials, Dr. Brewster has developed, delivered, and tested a community-based sleep education program in predominantly African American churches, expanding access to practical sleep strategies in trusted community settings. She is also a founder and leader of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Association.

Dr. Brewster is currently funded by the National Institute on Aging and has received support from the Alzheimer’s Association and other national organizations. She earned her nursing degrees and PhD at the University of South Florida and completed postdoctoral training in sleep and circadian neurobiology at the University of Pennsylvania.

FREE WEBINAR: NANOPLASTICS AND YOUR HEALTH

Nanoplastics are showing up everywhere, from food and water to the air we breathe. What do we know about how they may affect the brain and long-term health?

Join Matthew Campen, PhD for an insightful talk and live Q&A next Tuesday (March 17, 2026) at 2pm!

Dr. Matthew Campen is a Distinguished Professor in the University of New Mexico College of Pharmacy. He received his bachelor’s degrees in biochemistry and psychology from Virginia Tech, then completed an MSPH and PhD in Environmental Science and Engineering from the University of North Carolina School of Public Health. Following a postdoctoral fellowship in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Dr. Campen moved to New Mexico and worked for several years as a toxicologist at the Lovelace Biomedical Research Institute. In 2009, he moved across town to accept a faculty position at the University of New Mexico College of Pharmacy. His research expertise is largely focused on how inhaled pollutants like ozone, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide can cause toxicity beyond the lungs, including neurological health effects. He began researching the problem of microplastics about 5 years ago and has worked to better understand the nature of exposures, dosimetry, and toxicity using approaches that incorporate real human/clinical samples.

🧠BrainTalk Live is a weekly webinar series offering expert-led discussions on dementia, aging, and brain health.
