Know Your Genes: Understanding Genetic Risk For Dementia
Tuesday, May 12th  From 3pm-4pm. RSVP Here.

Racing Toward a Cure: New Research on Dementia Prevention and Treatment

Join us at The Kensington Sierra Madre for an informative and engaging presentation on the latest advancements in dementia research. Racing Toward a Cure: New Research on Dementia Prevention and Treatment will be presented by Dr. Mitzi Gonzales, PhD, ABPP, Associate Professor in Neurology, in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association.

This educational event will explore promising developments in brain health, prevention strategies, and emerging treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Guests will gain valuable insights into how research is shaping the future of care and what steps can be taken today to support cognitive well-being.

We invite community members, families, and professionals to attend and learn more about the evolving landscape of dementia care and research.

For questions, please reach out to Jodie Kendall, Director of Community Relations, at jkendall@kensingtonsl.com.

    Dr. Mitzi Gonzales

    Dr. Mitzi Gonzales is an Associate Professor of the Department of Neurology and the Director of Translational Research for the Jona Goldrich Center for Alzheimer’s and Memory Disorders at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. She is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist with expertise in neurodegenerative disorders. Her research interests broadly focuses on identifying mechanisms and biomarkers of advanced age-related cognitive decline and dementia in effort to aid timely diagnosis, monitor progression, and advance treatment discovery. Her research leverages clinical neuropsychology, structural and functional neuroimaging, and geroscience approaches. A primary aim is to understand the underlying mechanisms linking biological aging with dementia risk and develop interventions that slow the rate of cognitive decline.
