Ted Wilson joined Brown’s Center for Alzheimer’s Disease Research as Provost’s Assistant Professor of Brain Science and Neuroimmunology in December, 2025. Wilson holds a PhD in neuroscience from McGill University, and is joining Brown from Stanford, where he completed post-doctoral training and started his own research laboratory two years ago.

Alice Lin, Vanessa Rivera Núñez, Alisa Salazar, Lewis Núñez Severino and Zachary Uttke presented on findings that will advance research into Alzheimer's disease, developmental disorders, an epilepsy syndrome, obsessive compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Undergraduates study Alzheimer’s both in the lab—using stem cells—and in the community, meeting patients and caregivers.

Researchers at the Carney Institute for Brain Science have identified electrical activity in the brain that could predict progression to Alzheimer’s disease.

The New England Family Study, launched in 1959 and now led by a Brown epidemiologist, spans three generations of participants and unlocks key insights for healthy aging.

Eight projects will be supported this year, with four fueling research at the Center for Alzheimer’s Disease Research. Each represents bold, promising brain science at Brown.

Bess Frost, the Salame-Feraud Director of the Center for Alzheimer’s Disease Research, wins the 2025 Rainwater Prize for Innovative Early-Career Scientist.

Alzheimer’s center leaders offer an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to neurodegenerative disease.
