Carol Jennings: Alzheimer's Hero

Carol Jennings, a Nottingham teacher, dedicated her life to Alzheimers research after her familys struggle with the disease. Her familys participation in studies led to the discovery of a gene mutation linked to familial Alzheimers, the first protein implicated in its causes. This breakthrough paved the way for treatments to slow early-stage progression. Carols advocacy resulted in her and her husband becoming Vice Presidents of the Alzheimers Society and establishing a fellowship to support future research. Her posthumous Honorary Doctorate from University College London honors her instrumental role in advancing Alzheimers understanding and treatment.
