Ask the stem cell expert -- Alzheimer’s disease

Lawrence Goldstein

We’re excited to announce a new video series in which we’ll take questions from you, our readers, and pose them to one of CIRM’s stem cell experts. We’ll then post the video of those answers to our YouTube channel (and here, of course).

For our first video we’re focusing on Alzheimer’s disease, with questions being answered by Lawrence Goldstein of UC San Diego. He has several CIRM awards to study stem cell approaches for treating both Alzheimer’s disease and ALS and is director of the UCSD stem cell program.

Go ahead and post your questions in the comments section below by July 6. People can also post questions for Dr. Goldstein on our Facebook page or by tweeting with the hashtag #askCIRM_alz. We’ll go through the questions and pick several for Dr. Goldstein to answer. Also let us know which diseases you’d like us to take questions on for future Ask the Expert videos.

If you want to brush up on stem cell approaches to treating Alzheimer's disease, see a list of Alzheimer's awards, or watch our Alzheimer's disease videos go to our Alzheimer's disease fact page.
