UC Researchers Awarded $50 Million for Women's Brain Health and Alzheimer's Disease Studies

Researchers across the University of California system, led by UC San Diego, have secured over $50 million in grants. This substantial funding will support investigations into women's brain health, specifically exploring the connection between menopause, hormone therapy, and Alzheimer's disease risk. The initiative aims to address the higher prevalence of Alzheimer's in women and develop AI-powered tools for earlier detection.
