About
Join us for a powerful and deeply personal conversation between journalist Niki Kapsambelis, author of The Inheritance: A Family on the Front Lines of the Battle Against Alzheimer’s Disease, and Robin McIntyre, a member of the family at the heart of this remarkable story.
The Inheritance follows a unique American family carrying a rare genetic mutation that guarantees early-onset Alzheimer’s. Through their courageous participation in groundbreaking research, they are helping scientists search for a cure, offering hope for future generations.
In this moderated dialogue, Kapsambelis and McIntyre will explore the emotional and ethical complexities of knowing one’s genetic fate, the role of family and resilience in the face of devastating illness, and the groundbreaking science that may change the future of Alzheimer’s treatment.
This event is for anyone interested in the intersection of medicine, memory, ethics, and what it means to fight for a better future, one that honors both the science and the human stories behind it.
