"I joined ISTAART as a neuroscientist new to the world of Alzheimer’s disease and was really interested in growing my professional network in dementia research. During the pandemic, I attended several webinars and PIA calls which got me involved in various work groups. We discuss topics that we are passionate about, and work together to research and write papers that can inform policy to make a real change."

–Jaya Viswanathan, B.Tech, M.S, Ph.D., USA.
