The Evolving Landscape of Alzheimer's Disease

This special Grand Rounds lecture, poster session, and art exhibit mark the 10th anniversary of the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI). We recognize the Alzheimer’s Association for its leadership in advancing global brain health and its collaboration with our network of Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health, including the Pilot Awards for Global Brain Health Leaders.

Familiar Touch: The Aesthetics of Aging

We are thrilled to welcome American filmmaker Sarah Friedland to the UCSF Memory and Aging Center for a screening of her feature film Familiar Touch. Awarded the Luigi de Laurentiis Lion of the Future for best first film and Best Director award at the Venice International Film Festival (2024), this film intimately follows an octagenarian woman's transition into assisted living and the shifts in identity, memory, and physicality that follow.
